In 2022, voters in Los Angeles County’s 3rd Supervisorial District - which encompasses the Westside - elected Lindsay P. Horvath to the Board of Supervisors. Succeeding Sheila Kuehl, Horvath assumed office after serving as a City Councilmember and the longest consecutively-serving Mayor for the City of West Hollywood. In December 2023, she became chair of the Board.
On Thursday, January 11, join the Westside Urban Forum for a conversation with Supervisor Horvath, moderated by former West Hollywood Councilmember John D'Amico. The conversation will cover current topics facing the third supervisorial district and beyond:
- What has been the regional approach to homelessness and how has it evolved?
- How is the County supporting arts and culture on the Westside, and what more needs to be done?
- What are the greatest challenges and opportunities for transit-oriented development locally?
- How must the region adapt for the future - bearing in mind the Olympics, climate change, and evolving nature of technology and the economy?
Supervisor Horvath has already made history with a number of historic firsts: she is the youngest woman and first millennial to be elected to the Boardof Supervisors, the youngest chair of the Board, and currently is the only renter to serve on the Board - bringing a much-needed perspective to LA County leadership. Having campaigned on solutions to homelessness, public safety, reproductive freedom, and environmental sustainability, Supervisor Horvath is positioned to deliver for a much larger constituency that includes the Westside and beyond. The third supervisorial district includes nearly two million residents and 431 square miles of land stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Los Feliz, and from Venice to San Fernando.
The Westside Urban Forum is pleased to welcome Supervisor Horvath for a candid discussion with our membership, kicking off our 2024 programs.
