Dear Velma J. Butler ,

As we all celebrate Mother's Day today, I wanted to send a special "Thank You" to my mom, Janice Hahn. It wasn't until I became a mother myself (I have two daughters and a son), that I truly appreciated all that mom had done for me and my brothers growing up. She was a single-mom and had to work long hours to pay the rent and put food on the table. But she still made time to take us to our soccer games and help us with our homework. Being a mom is hard work.

I remember being a young girl and watching my grandpa, Kenny Hahn, with awe. He taught all of us that there was no greater calling than public service. So when my mom decided to run for office, my brothers and I walked precincts for her. And since being elected as Councilwoman in 2001, she has dedicated herself to helping the people of Los Angeles. She has continued Grandpa's legacy and has been the voice of the voiceless. My mom is a champion.

We know that California is in desperate need of new leadership, and I have no doubt that my mom is the right woman to get it back on track.

This Mother's Day, join me in thanking all moms. And for all of our mothers and for women everywhere, help my mom become the first woman Lieutenant Governor in California's history by donating to her campaign. Click here now.

>From our family to yours, Happy Mother's Day.

Thank you,

Katy Yates
