Naomi Goldman

My name is Naomi Goldman and I’m running for AD-51 Delegate on the Progressive Slate, because we have so much vital work ahead to lift up all Californians.

I’m a Jewish, feminist, daughter of an immigrant and longtime Westwood resident & UCLA alum. I’ve dedicated my public affairs career to engaging communities and addressing our most pressing social issues: working to combat & prevent homelessness; building coalitions around food insecurity, access to healthcare and environmental protection; developing programs to combat hate and lift up diversity, equity & inclusion; and helping communities impacted by gun violence and disasters.  Most recently, I served as Senior Staff to LA City Councilmember and progressive champion Mike Bonin and worked with LA Women in the Fire Service and Equity on Fire to address sexism, racism and harassment inside the LAFD and help usher in LA’s first woman Chief.

I’m a current delegate to the California Democratic Party and have the honor of serving as a Co-Chair of the Resolutions Committee and member of the Executive Board, working to advance our shared progressive values. My activism has been on full throttle, serving as VP of Legislative Advocacy at Heart of LA Democratic Club, rep to the Westside Democratic HQ and Board member of Democrats for Israel California, and I invested deeply in electing many of our new City, County & State leaders, while also serving on the Check the Sheriff Coalition to pass Measure A for Sheriff Accountability, and supporting Measure ULA to tackle our housing & homeless crisis. I’m also active in Stonewall & Santa Monica Democratic Clubs, Natl Women’s Political Caucus and LA Forward and serve as a volunteer disaster responder/educator for American Red Cross LA.

We must invest in our most vulnerable Californians and make bold, systemic and sustainable change.  It’s not radical to demand that everyone should have food, housing, a living wage, quality healthcare, mental health services and education. We must protect reproductive rights, ensure economic security, tackle climate change and eliminate the daily threats of violence, hate and discrimination.  

Our Party needs champions dedicated to social justice and I’m that proven advocate & activist. I’d be honored to receive your vote & continue my service on behalf of the AD51 community! Follow me on TW @NaomiGoldman14.
