Supervisor Sheila James Kuehl, representing Los Angeles County’s Third District, was elected in November 2014 and assumed office on December 1st. The job of Los Angeles County Supervisor is considered one of the nation’s most powerful positions in local government and is vested in just five supervisors, Kuehl being one of them. Kuehl is a key player in decisions made regarding homeless issues, healthcare, and the criminal justice system as she oversees the county’s social service programs, public safety initiatives, and L.A. Sheriff’s Department and jails. She previously served eight years in the State Senate and six years in the State Assembly. She authored 171 bills that were signed into law.
Prior to her election to the Legislature, as a public-interest attorney Kuehl drafted and fought to get into California Law more than 40 pieces of legislation relating to children, families, women, and domestic violence. Formerly a child actor, Kuehl is the first openly LGBT member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, and is a founding member of the California Legislative LGBT Caucus.
