I am grateful to have recently earned the endorsement of the Long Beach Collective Association (LBCA).

The cannabis industry is growing rapidly throughout California and will play an important role in our future. For Long Beach, it’s important we remain ahead of the curve and do everything we can to incorporate this industry into our economy. It’s also important we collaborate with industry leaders to ensure the highest health and safety standards are being met. This is an exciting industry, and I look forward to safely facilitating its growth and success.

LBCA members released the following statement on the endorsement:

The Long Beach Collective Association is proud to endorse Cindy Allen for City Council. Cindy is a proven leader who recognizes and appreciates the potential of emerging industries like cannabis. Not only does she have the business acumen to see the economic and job benefits of our industry, she has the right background and experience to address many of the obstacles we face to provide safe access to residents. Cindy Allen is the only candidate who is committed to the safe, fair, and legal expansion of the cannabis industry, and we look forward to working with her in the future.
