Anaheim, CA—In her race for Anaheim Mayor, Ashleigh Aitken continues to gain momentum with an endorsement from one of Orange County’s largest unions—UFCW Local 324. The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 324 represents more than 23,000 men and women employed in the Food, Dental, Financial, Health Care, Optometry, Packinghouse, Processing, Retail Drug, and Merchandise Industries.
“Ashleigh doesn’t shy away from a fight for justice,” said Matt Bell, Executive Vice President of UFCW Local 324. “As mayor, she’ll continue to stand with workers and the people we serve to have a stronger voice in our neighborhoods, in the workplace, and at city hall.”
Aitken has already earned the backing of former Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, Congressman Lou Correa, Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, Anaheim Union High School District Trustee Al Jabbar, as well as, the Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 582, Orange County Employees Association (OCEA), and the Anaheim Municipal Employees Association (AMEA).
Ashleigh is a former federal prosecutor who also previously served our neighborhoods as Chair of the Anaheim Community Services Board. As a two-term commissioner, she helped secure funding for local non-profit organizations to lift people out of poverty, prevent elder abuse, offer job training and placement, and provide additional education and arts resources to our at-risk youth.
She is the former Chair and a current member of the Orange County Fair Board, where she is helping to lead improvements on the grounds, add recreational opportunities, offer free programming to over 100,000 schoolchildren at the Centennial Farm, and mitigate traffic on event days. The Heroes Hall museum and education center in honor of our military veterans and the Table of Dignity, the state’s largest memorial to farm workers, were also created with the help of Ashleigh’s leadership on the Fair Board.
Ashleigh and her husband, Michael, live in Anaheim with their three daughters and an ark of animals. Ashleigh and Michael work at the family-run law firm Aitken Aitken Cohn. She continues to support and volunteer with the local Assistance League of Anaheim, Girl Scouts of Orange County, Special Olympics, Chance Theater, Anaheim Ballet, Muzeo, and South Coast Repertory.
