Dionne Faulk
Dionne Faulk, who made history as the first African-American woman to be elected to the Inglewood City Council, has earned the prestigious endorsement of the Los Angeles Sentinel Newspaper.
The Sentinel, known for its political prowess under the leadership of Civil Rights Leader Danny J. Bakewell, Sr., endorsed 34 candidates for the November 8th General Election, Faulk is the only candidate from the City of Inglewood.
“I am so honored to have the endorsement of the Sentinel, which is an institution that take the role of public service very seriously,” Faulk told South Bay Black Journal.
Known as committed cutting-edge, resilient, and progressive, she has made her first term on the council impactful, advocating for sustainable jobs, affordable housing, a balanced budget, and making decisions that were responsive to the needs of Inglewood residents.
A lifelong public servant who has worked for the State of California as a Civil Servant for over 15 years, she started her public service career as a Commissioner appointed to the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs by the Honorable Yvonne Brathwaite-Burke.
She is also instrumental in establishing the Inglewood Music Festival which raises funds for the Inglewood Unified School District.
