Like many in the 23rd Senate District, James “DJ” Hamburger is a veteran and actively serving in the Army National Guard. When not called to serve in the Guard, he teaches French in our local high schools and is a board member for iLEAD Charter Schools. A graduate of our local public schools, current teacher, backfill for the LAPD / LASD during civil unrest, and wildland firefighter during the fire season with Joint Task Force Rattlesnake, he understands the issues we care about better than the career politicians in this race.
