Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Torrance) endorsed and urged the passage of Measure M today, recognizing its broad-based benefits to current and future LA County residents.
In a statement, Congressman Lieu outlined the considered rationale for his support for Measure M and looked forward to its implementation:
"I endorse Measure M and urge its passage. I have concluded that on balance my constituents and all of Los Angeles County would be better served if Measure M passes in November.
...I agree that Measure M will provide much needed funding for transportation projects across Los Angeles County, including in the South Bay, and in other areas in the 33rd Congressional District.
...
Ultimately, Measure M will create good-paying jobs, increase transportation infrastructure, and improve our quality of life. I urge the voters to pass Measure M.
