Jobs PAC, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce PAC and the L.A. BizFed PAC.
The endorsements show that the business community understands Hochman is the best choice to restore public safety after years of increasing crime, smash-and-grab robberies, rampant burglaries and shoplifting, which has severely impacted businesses and the quality of life for L.A. County residents.
“After evaluating the candidates, the L.A.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce PAC said: “The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce PAC is proud to endorse Nathan Hochman for District Attorney of Los Angeles County. We believe his values and experience are strongly aligned with the Chamber’s goals of helping businesses thrive in the Hollywood community. Hollywood has long been a place for dreamers and doers, and we believe in Mr. Hochman’s vision for a safer community that is the perfect place for businesses to blossom and visitors to enjoy.”
Jerard Wright, Director of Government Affairs at Greater LA REALTORS and Chair, L.A. BizFed PAC, said: “On behalf of the businesses and workers of L.A.

Hochman said he has spent the past year meeting with business owners who say they have been severely impacted by increasing crime and lawlessness that has erupted under the current district attorney. He understands the importance of enforcing laws to deter crime and improve public safety as well as the region’s economic prosperity.
“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsements of these three key business organizations that represent collectively over 235,000 businesses and over 650,000 employees in Los Angeles County.
