Deborah Klein Lopez: Running for Assembly

District 42

Local Agoura City Councilmember and former Mayor Deborah Klein Lopez has announced her campaign to represent this beautiful yet environmentally vulnerable area in the 2026 State Legislature.

Klein Lopez is no stranger to disaster recovery, having first been elected to the Agoura Hills City Council two days before the Woolsey Fire caused mass evacuations and destruction—followed by floods and the COVID-19 pandemic. Her focus on communications, sustainability, public safety and small business support have been key tenets of her service.

Growing up and raising her own family at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains along the border of L.A. and Ventura Counties, Klein Lopez has deep roots in the district. She is a product of the local school district, and has held many leadership roles over the decades in the district, including board member of the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains, chair of a successful ballot measure to stabilize a local school district, and manager of a weekly winter homeless shelter for nearly 20 years.
