Los Angeles is home to an entertainment industry that employs hundreds of thousands of Angelinos to help create the music, movies, and shows we love. From composers to carpenters and caterers, the entertainment industry is a major job creator in our community. These jobs are why we must ensure that the industry thrives and is fairly compensated for the entertainment it produces, even amid a pandemic. Among her top priorities in intellectual property is maintaining a free and open internet.
