Barger enters the Supervisorial race with strong backing from numerous labor organizations and dozens of Fifth District city mayors and council members.

I am launching this re-election campaign with a lot of enthusiasm and focus. I have worked hard to keep public safety, homelessness, and investing in local businesses front and center through my policy motions and strong collaborations with stakeholders from a variety of public and private sectors. I am proud of my work and progress on challenging the status quo on homelessness, funding more law enforcement patrols to fight crime, and expanding care for our communities – but there is more to be done. My bid for a third and final term reflects my commitment to keeping up the fight to bring the change L.A. County residents demand and need.

I have developed a reputation as a no-nonsense, hard-working leader. I’ve demonstrated an unwavering commitment to collaboration and have served as a constant advocate for Fifth District municipalities and workers. The endorsements my campaign has received to date are a testament to my track record. I believe this show of support is just the beginning of what will be resolute backing from cities, labor, and community leaders.

Barger was re-elected for a second term in an outright victory in the March 2020 primary.

The election will take place March 5, 2024.
