From Community Leaders:

Dan Brotman, Mayor of Glendale*

“Karen . . . brings something unique to Council—the perspective of a South Glendale renter. We’ve not had anyone represent that community on Council, ever. It’s time we do. But she brings a whole lot more than that. Karen is whip smart. She does her homework. She’s an original thinker. She’s a change agent. She also shares . . . my passion for the environment, active transportation, fair housing and good government. The last thing I’d say about Karen is that she is deeply committed. No one has been as consistent a presence in the Council chamber as Karen has over the years. One benefit of this is that she knows the issues and will hit the ground running.”–Feb 9, 2024

“Have fun storming the castle!”
I am proud to have won endorsements from both the most respected, established organizations that influence politics and from organizations that advocate for change. Because if you are a change agent who works successfully to get your message heard, the people inside the castle will be more likely to listen to your ideas and approaches with a positive view. This places me in a great position to help the people outside the castle and the people inside the castle understand each other better, in both directions, and pass policies that benefit us all.
