Full summary

Mayor Karen Bass first appointed Andrea Ambriz to the Board of Fire and Police Pensions in February 2022 to fill the vacancy left by Belinda Vega's resignation, with a term running through June 30, 2026. The appointment cleared the Personnel, Audits, and Animal Welfare Committee and was confirmed by City Council on March 9, 2022. Ambriz subsequently rose to serve as Board President of the commission during her initial term. In August 2026, Mayor Bass submitted a reappointment, nominating Ambriz to a new five-year term ending June 30, 2031. Ambriz brings substantial public policy experience to the role: she serves as General Manager of Exposition Park, a position she holds by appointment of Governor Gavin Newsom, and previously worked as White House Deputy Director of Private Sector Engagement under President Obama, at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and as Deputy Secretary of External Affairs at the California Natural Resources Agency. She holds a Master of Public Policy degree from UC Berkeley and is a South Los Angeles resident in Council District 10. The reappointment was referred to the Personnel and Hiring Committee, which approved it on September 9, 2026. The full Council confirmed the reappointment on September 16, 2026, by a vote of 14-0-1, and the action became final on September 18, 2026. Ambriz joins a five-member board that also includes Nanxi Liu, Raul Perez, Corinne Babcock, and Carlton Jenkins.
