He is currently a candidate in the upcoming (LA County Employee Retirement Association) LACERA Pension Board Elections and he is ready to work for all LA County employees in coming years to make a difference to protect families’ futures. He is one of the most suitable candidates for this position as his experience, eligibility, qualification and contributions all work strongly with the common strong values that exemplify public service. As a community advocate and union member, he was a strong supporter of ex-president Barack Obama and ran numerous local campaigns for him and for Congresswoman Judy Chu and Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. He served on the Board and then as Chairman of LACOEHS Teamsters 911.  He has also served on numerous fundraisers as community advocate for various noble causes like programs for children, library, PTA, local schools, and so forth.

He stands firmly for the fiscally responsible management of the pension and shares valuable information with peers and others about how pension plans have taken a setback since global economic meltdown. The cuts and contributions from employees implemented then were a requirement, however, since the nation has recovered from that crisis, it is time that we move beyong this financial disarray. He wishes to bring proper reforms that take away the pressure from current employees who are already facing a possible 25 percent reduction in benefits all across the nation. Richard suggests a new approach that provides a number of options to new employees that can cover core benefits. He also wishes to include a provision that brings down the tenure and age for claiming benefits. He also places equal emphasis on the individual assessment of pension plans, some of which are state administered while the rest are under local administration.  With this election there is no better candidate for the LACERA Board of Investments and Board of Retirement.
