2023 ALADS BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTIONS CANDIDATE STATEMENTS Candidate Statement: As a Unit Representative for West Hollywood (WHD), I experienced firsthand the challenges of the defund movement and its ramifications. In June 2022, WHD cut deputy positions and re-allocated funding to hire unarmed security ambassadors. With ALADS support, I organized outreach events, restarted the WHD Community Academy, and defended our deputies. When the public learned about the work we did on behalf of the community, despite the challenges and limitations under which we worked, our community members rallied and became our biggest advocates. In May 2023, WHD City Council voted to re-fund LASD positions. Candidate Name: Christopher Chung Unit of Assignment: West Hollywood Deputy Sheriff / DAI Since: 06/25/2012 Member Since: 06/25/2012 Previous Unit of Assignment: NCCF Previous Position: Director PEC Committee Contract Negotiations Team Alternate Unit Representative I continued volunteering my efforts at ALADS and participated in our Political Endorsement Committee, the Contract Negotiations Team (Alternate), ALADS Budget Financial Training, and Public Safety Union Leadership Training. Shortly thereafter I was appointed to the ALADS Board of Directors. As a current Director, I have fought on behalf of our deputies to local government officials, contract cities, and our fellow partners in labor. I have seen and experienced firsthand how communication is vital and have reached out to our members and made myself readily available to discuss issues, concerns, and what we can do to work towards solutions. We need our memberships’ help and involvement more than ever. I am a staunch advocate for Unit Reps and have recruited many into the fold. Unit Reps, in collaboration with our team of Defense, Field, and Legal Reps, are crucial to our success and continued growth in this ever challenging environment. We are undervalued and underpaid and I want to fight aggressively for a strong contract in our upcoming contract negotiations. I am asking for your vote so I can continue to fight and advocate for our membership and build upon the progress 30 DISPATCHER Issue 3
