Burton Brink is a retired Sergeant with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, a lifelong L.A. County Resident and has resided and worked in the 49th assembly district since 1967. He currently serves as a Commissioner for the City of Arcadia, is on the Board of Directors for Crime Survivors Inc. and is a community leader.
Burton has been protecting and serving our community for nearly 40 years. Burton knows how important it is to keep us safe in our homes, neighborhoods and businesses. Burton is concerned with the increase of Asian hate crime and targeting of Asian businesses and families by criminals. As a father of an Asian son, Burton has the motivation and experience necessary to address this issue.
With participation in the workforce at its lowest point in 4 decades, we’re adding the wrong jobs and potentially courting the wrong businesses. Government’s main job is to keep its citizens safe, not tax companies until they leave or keep them from opening in our community. I’ll fight to attract companies to the San Gabriel Valley and keep them here. Also, I’ll reduce red-tape and make most transactions businesses must conduct with the area available digitally. I will also work to create partnerships between local businesses and our local high schools to ensure that our children have quality jobs waiting for them when they graduate.
