I am writing this letter in support of Cinzia Lettieri’s election to the state’s legislature as the representative from the 35th District.

I have had the pleasure to teach Cinzia Algebra 2 in her junior year at The Morgan School many years ago. Cinzia was in a college prep level math class and was a terrific student. She was then and continues to be dedicated to public service.

At California State University-Northridge she advocated for funding for student groups and campus events such as the McNair Scholars, Ability Awareness Week, and congressional debates.

As a public school teacher she has been an outspoken advocate for students. As our representative, she will work to expand access to healthcare for women. Cinzia will focus on improving livelihoods by creating pathways through college and trades. She plans to encourage partnerships with businesses to establish apprenticeships and other vocational opportunities. Her vision of the best future for the students and citizens of our district is one I wholeheartedly support.
