Thank you for your public support of Measure N. You took an important stand for workers, and for Long Beach as a whole, and our tourism industry is better for it.
A majority of voters in your district supported Measure N, which was approved by 64% of voters citywide.
Long Beach residents are now looking to your leadership to raise the minimum wage at our publicly owned tourism hubs: the Long Beach Airport and the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center.
We stand by the vision of a strong tourism industry that pays a wage that allows workers to afford necessities and contribute to the local economy. We will support your efforts to make this a reality.
Why is this important?
We want to thank the six council members who publicly supported Measure N--which raised the minimum wage for hotel workers in Long Beach--and encourage them to take leadership to raise the minimum wage at the Long Beach Airport and Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center.
