Two Democrats fight for votes as they race to replace Sen. Bob Hertzberg on Nov. 8: his son Daniel Hertzberg, and non-profit director Caroline Menjivar.
Voters head to the polls on Nov. 8 to decide who will represent them in state Senate District 20, a competitive tussle between two Democrats, Daniel Hertzberg and Caroline Menjivar, both natives of the San Fernando Valley. The district spans the Valley and environs from the city of San Fernando to Burbank, and includes Canoga Park, North Hollywood, Northridge, Pacoima and Van Nuys.
. He grew up in different parts of the Valley, including Studio City, Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys, and today lives in Burbank. He worked as a business development manager at DoubleTree By Hilton Carson and held internships with various lawmakers and studied political science at Goucher College. Issues he said he would tackle include creating more affordable housing and improving healthcare. He said, “These are all humongous concerns for people, and everyone wants to know how they’re going to survive in California as inflation rises.”
At the start of the pandemic, while working in Garcetti’s office, Menjivar organized conference calls to update residents with the latest information and hosted socially distanced events including the San Fernando Valley LGBTQ+ Pride Car Parade. She has volunteered with The Help Group’s Kaleidoscope Advisory Board, assisting LGBTQ+ youth and young adults.
Menjivar said mental health issues have plagued Valley residents, especially families of essential workers who continued cleaning homes, working in grocery stores and performing other essential work during the pandemic. She said what sets her apart from Hertzberg is that she understands how government agencies work.
