• Assemblymember Liz OrtegaCalifornia State Assembly, District 20

  I'm endorsing Rebecca Lewington for East Bay Regional Park District Director, Ward 3. Why? Because she's the right person for the job! She'll work well with the board and the dedicated staff who make our parks special. Rebecca has the experience, values, and vision needed to protect our open spaces while ensuring everyone in our communities has access to them. She will be a strong voice for our parks and for the East Bay families who rely on them. I hope you'll join me in supporting Rebecca's campaign.

  Our parks are some of the most beautiful places in the East Bay, and they are essential community assets for families from every background. Rebecca Lewington understands that protecting our open spaces and ensuring equitable access must go hand in hand. Her track record of thoughtful problem-solving, commitment to public service, and dedication to making our parks welcoming for everyone make her the right leader for the East Bay Regional Park District Board. I’m proud to support Rebecca Lewington for Director.
