Richard Bloom gives deep dive into campaign for County Supervisor Apr. 29, 2021 at 6:00 am Richard Bloom Assemblymember Richard Bloom has tossed his hat in the ring for County Supervisor and is building his platform on a slate of progressive policies: from tackling homelessness and housing affordability, to expanding mental health services, to addressing the climate crisis. This week on the Inside the Daily Press Podcast, the former Santa Monica Mayor discussed his upcoming run for the coveted Supervisor position and the approach he would take to several of the County’s most salient challenges. While the election is not until 2022, Bloom chose to announce his candidacy in January as current Supervisor Sheila Kuehl said she would not run for a third term. If elected to represent the County’s 3rd District, Bloom would oversee a population of roughly 2 million residents.
