The Mexican-American Bar Association PAC (MABA PAC) has endorsed Phlunte’ Riddle for the State Senate’s 25th District, the Riddle campaign announced today.
“We are very proud to endorse Phlunte’ Riddle for the State Senate,” said Felipe Plascencia, President of MABA PAC . “Phlunte’s wealth of experience in law enforcement will allow her to bring a unique perspective to the challenges facing California and its communities — the need for better jobs, stronger schools, and safer communities. She is the best choice to be the next State Senator from the 25th District.”
MABA PAC joins Senators Connie Leyva, Isadore Hall, III, and Holly Mitchell as well as Assemblymember Jim Cooper, and the Pasadena Police Officers Association in supporting Phlunte’ Riddle for State Senate.
MABA PAC works to empower the Latino community to be more involved in civic affairs and elect leaders who will ensure that the American dream is available to people from all backgrounds. Their members include attorneys, civic leaders, and business people from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
“I am honored to have earned the support of the MABA PAC,” Riddle said. “I look forward to working together with their organization to make sure Californians have good jobs, strong schools, and safe communities.”
Riddle resides in Pasadena with her husband of 36 years and is the mother of three adult sons. Riddle spent nearly 29 years rising through the ranks of the Pasadena Police Department, breaking barriers as the first woman to be permanently assigned as a gang/street narcotics officer and the first African American female sergeant and lieutenant. She retired as a lieutenant, where she was the Public Information Officer & Adjutant to the Chief of Police.
Riddle is an adjunct professor at Golden West College and owns a consulting company, where she trains executives and helps solve communications challenges in organizations.
