On Dec. 5 Assemblyman Rick Chavez Zbur (D-West Hollywood) announced staff members hired to serve the constituents of Assembly District 51 in his Capitol and District Offices, including Robert Oliver.

“These dedicated public servants have the knowledge and skills to deliver on my promise to provide top quality constituent services and legislative proposals for my district,” Zbur said. “Both of my offices are open and ready to serve on day one, with highly trained professionals who understand the district and the Capitol.”

Bob Hartnagel has been named chief of staff. Tami Martin has been named Zbur’s legislative director. Jane Park will be Zbur’s senior assistant. Scheduler duties will fall to Alex Mehlbrech.

Oliver will be Zbur’s district director. Oliver has worked as a field representative in the district offices of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein and L.A. City Councilman Paul Koretz, 5th District. He also worked as a community liaison for the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles. A graduate of UC Santa Barbara, he grew up in Los Angeles. He and several of his family members currently live in AD-51.

Oliver is a West Hollywood resident who came in fifth place in the recent City Council election. Oliver was only .42% from winning a seat on the council.

Zbur is currently accepting applications for field representative in his district office, which serves the cities and communities of Beverly Hills, East Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood Hills West, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, West Los Angeles and Westwood Village.
