"I, too, had a crazy idea of funding urban farmers in the 30th, connecting art with health and transit and climate and food and economic sustainability. I found $4 million last year and gave it to Jamiah to help him blow up Crop Swap LA. And he did more than I could ever imagine."

— Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager

The 30th District Is Now The 28th Congressional District.
