California State Senate (2016–)
Election
Henry Stern represented the Democratic Party in the 2016 race for California's 27th State Senate district against Republican Steve Fazio.[4] On November 8, 2016, he was elected for California's 27th District State Senate.[5]
Stern ran on a platform of five main issues in the 2016 elections. These included standing up to oil and gas companies, fighting to create incentives for companies to create "clean transportation and renewable energy infrastructure," improving the economy with small businesses, clean technology, good-paying jobs and job training, supporting education by securing funding, and creating safer communities by providing funding to local governments.[6]
During the 2016 election, Stern was endorsed by Senator Fran Pavley, the Sierra Club, the California League of Conservation Voters, teachers and school board members from Los Angeles and Ventura county school districts, the Association of Los Angeles County Sheriffs, and the California Association of Highway Patrolmen.[7] He was endorsed by elected officials such as President Barack Obama and Governor Jerry Brown, among many more. Publications such as the Ventura County Star and Ventura County Signal endorsed him as well.[7]
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors election
Stern announced his candidacy for the District 3 seat on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 2022.[8] On June 22, Stern conceded the race after receiving 24% of the vote in the June 7 primary.[9]
In popular culture
Henry's father, Daniel Stern, performed the narrative voiceover of adult Kevin Arnold for the hit television series The Wonder Years for six seasons. At the end of the show's series finale, Henry delivered the next-to-last line of the entire series when he called to his father—in voiceover—"Hey Dad, wanna play catch?" to which his father replies "I'll be right there."[10]
