AIA|LA City Leaders Breakfast Reception w/ Laura Friedman – U.S. Congressional Representative, 30th District

2025 City Leaders Breakfast Series Presented By: 

The 2025 AIA|LA City Leaders Breakfast Series allows architects & designers, and other community stakeholders to meet directly with key individuals transforming Los Angeles in a roundtable setting to discuss innovative ideas to ensure a healthy, sustainable, and economically competitive future.

Laura Friedman – U.S. Congressional Representative, 30th District

Rep. Friedman has lived in California for more than three decades. Currently, she lives in Glendale with her husband and daughter. Friedman proudly represents California’s 30th District, which includes Burbank, Glendale, West Hollywood, and parts of Los Angeles and Pasadena.

Friedman is committed to making meaningful progress on the issues that matter most to her district: making housing more affordable, safeguarding access to clean water, protecting communities from wildfires and other disasters, and creating an economy that works for everyone.

Friedman serves on two key committees: the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

Before joining Congress, Friedman represented the 44th district in the California State Assembly, where she built a reputation as a tireless advocate for the environment, housing, and transportation. During her time in the Assembly, she secured more than $60 million in funding for local projects like the Glendale Riverwalk, Griffith Park safety improvements, and upgrades to the Glendale Central Library. She also led the charge on landmark legislation to improve road safety, invest in zero-emission vehicles, and promote water conservation.

Laura got her start in the private sector working as a film and television producer after receiving her B.A. from the University of Rochester, New York. Building on her years of community service, Laura also served on the Glendale City Council and as the Mayor of Glendale.

Laura was tapped for several leadership roles during her time in the state legislature, including the Chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee, Chair of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee, Assistant Speaker pro Tempore for the Assembly, Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the Assembly Select Committee on Urban Development to Combat Climate Change, and Chair of the Joint Rules Subcommittee on Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response where she led a historic bicameral and bipartisan reform of the legislature’s response to sexual harassment that’s become a model for other states and local governments.

From her days as a film and television executive to her years as a local leader in Glendale, Laura has always been about making an impact. Whether it’s fighting for affordable housing, building sustainable communities, or ensuring her district is ready for the challenges of tomorrow, Laura’s focus remains the same: delivering real solutions for the people she serves.
