Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken and Long Beach Mayor-elect Rex Richardson were among the group of newly-elected mayors that met President Biden at the White House last week to discuss how their cities can benefit from federal spending included in recent legislation.
In all, 13 mayors were invited to the forum that included President Joe Biden, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, Labor Secretary Martin Walsh, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge, Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Julie Chavez Rodriguez and Deputy Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Gabe Amo.
"The mayors and mayors-elect discussed key initiatives around public safety and housing, as well as implementation of the American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act — which are leading to unprecedented job creation and an economy that is being rebuilt from the bottom up and middle out," said a statement from the White House.
