advocating for their rights and needs,” says Zimmon. “That’s why
I’m running to fill the open positioned elected by retired police
members of the LAFPP."

Department (LAPD), and has extensive experience working with City
Commissions, City Council Committees and a variety of employee
groups and organizations. “I thoroughly research issues and have
the depth of experience to understand and analyze the staff
reports acted on by the LAFPP Board of Commissioners,” says
Zimmon.
