LA City members: Retirement Board trustees are responsible for overseeing and investing our money. That’s why re-electing Elizabeth Greenwood to the LACERS Board is so critical. She’s the only candidate who has the knowledge, guts and integrity that we need to protect our future.

Elizabeth Greenwood is a tireless advocate for city workers and our benefits. She took office at LACERS in 2009 during the worst financial crisis of our lives. LACERS had lost over 20% of its value, and panic gripped the city. But Elizabeth helped bring LACERS back from the brink. During her term, LACERS rose from a $9 billion fund to one valued at over $13 billion. She also stands up to politicians and pundits any time they attack our benefits. Elizabeth Greenwood deserves your vote.

Critics of our retirement system are just wrong–our salaries and benefits are not to blame for LA’s financial problems. We aren’t responsible for bad city management or handing out huge tax breaks to corporations. If you give me your vote, I’ll spend the next five years safeguarding your retirement security and shifting the focus from Wall Street to LA’s streets and neighborhoods.”
–Elizabeth Greenwood, LACERS Board Member

“Liz is smart, strong, tough and has a deep understanding of and commitment to our retirement fund. We absolutely need to re-elect Elizabeth Greenwood for another term on the LACERS Board.”
–Bob Schoonover, President SEIU Local 721
