Burke endorses Perry for mayor

Former Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke announced today her endorsement of Councilwoman Jan Perry for mayor in 2013.
Burke cited Perry's longtime work as a champion for women and families.
"If elected, Jan will make history by breaking through one more glass ceiling by becoming the first woman to serve as mayor of Los Angeles.
"Jan has a long record of fighting to provide opportunities for all women. She championed the Downtown Women's Center project which has led to safe housing, support services, and job development to help women reclaim their lives."
Burke knows about breaking through glass ceilings with her elections to the state Assembly, Congress and the Board of Supervisors.
