Santa Monica, CA -- Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board Member Ben Allen was endorsed today in his bid for the 26th State Senate District by Assemblymember Isadore Hall, III.
"As a member of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board, Ben Allen was able to modernize local schools while making them environmentally friendly, creating thousands of new jobs in the process during one of our State's lowest economic points. In the State Senate, Allen will be a leader on the environment, education, and protecting jobs," said Assemblymember Hall.
"Assemblymember Isadore Hall, III has been one of the preeminent leaders on creating green jobs and providing broader access to education through technology. I am honored to receive his endorsement and I plan to follow his lead in Sacramento," said Ben Allen.
