Brief

The Mayor has nominated Adler Dillman to serve on the Climate Emergency Mobilization Commission.

This is a standard appointment process for filling a Commission seat.

Full summary

Mayor Karen Bass nominated Adler Dillman to the Climate Emergency Mobilization Commission on August 14, 2026, for a term ending June 30, 2031. Dillman fills the vacancy left by the departure of Juan Vazquez. The appointment requires City Council confirmation, which follows review by the Energy and Environment Committee, chaired by Councilmember Adrin Nazarian. Dillman is a UCLA political science student from the South Valley neighborhood in Council District 3, with a background in political and legislative work. His resume includes internships with Congressman Brad Sherman on the House Committee on Financial Services, the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office, and Councilmember Bob Blumenfield's community outreach office, where he focused on land use and municipal permitting. He has also served as an elected Assembly Delegate for the California Democratic Party representing Assembly District 46. He lists criminal justice reform, financial regulation, labor rights, and democratic governance among his policy interests, though the commission's focus is on climate emergency preparedness and mobilization. Before the Council can act on the nomination, Dillman is required to complete several pre-confirmation steps, including a background check, a Statement of Economic Interests filing, and an ethics clearance form with the City Ethics Commission. He may also meet individually with Councilmember Blumenfield, his district representative, and with committee chair Nazarian ahead of his public hearing. The nomination was referred to the Energy and Environment Committee on August 17, 2026, and remains pending there as of late September 2026. No committee hearing has yet been scheduled. The file is open and does not expire until August 2028.
