Sieroty, of Beverly Hills, served as a state Assembly member and senator, championing disability rights and efforts to protect California’s coast.
Former state Sen. Alan G. Sieroty, a Democrat from Beverly Hills who championed disability rights and efforts to protect California’s coast, died Saturday. He was 93. Sieroty died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by his family, according to his niece Eve Meltzer and longtime friend Evan Kaizer.
” Perhaps his most famous work in that arena, Kaizer said, was his role in the initiative and legislation that led to the creation of the California Coastal Commission. “One of the things that brought Alan incredible pleasure was being at the beach … and seeing people enjoy the beach and knowing that he had a little small place in creating those open spaces,” Kaizer said.
