She is also a Member of the Governing Board of New Leaders Council--Los Angeles Chapter, a graduate of the Los Angeles African American Women's Public Policy Institute, and an American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division Scholar.
"I would be honored to serve as a member of the City Council because I am committed to helping maintain the city's quality of life for everyone, including our most vulnerable citizens," stated McMorrin. "My vision as a council member is to ensure that as Culver City develops, we help everyone share in our progress."
If elected, McMorrin would be the first African American woman to serve on the City Council, a historic milestone that would further the city's reputation for inclusive leadership.
McMorrin's campaign is focused on housing, sustainability, transportation, and government accountability, as well as raising civic engagement on local issues, especially among young people.
