Former U.S. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, Michael Muñoz and Lee Williams were confirmed to the harbor commission.
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously confirmed Mayor Karen Bass’s three appointees to the harbor commission on Tuesday, May 2.
Muñoz, the research director for the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, spoke about his upbringing in an immigrant family in East Los Angeles. His work on behalf of truck drivers gave him insight on how the port operates, Muñoz said, and “in how to balance the importance of attaining zero emissions while maintaining good jobs.”
Roybal-Allard, a Boyle Heights native, served in the U.S. House of Representatives for three decades and was the first Mexican American woman elected to Congress.
