- As a candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles, I bring over 36 years of hands-on experience serving the people of this incredible city. I understand how Los Angeles operates, and more importantly, I know how it should work for everyone.
I will bring proven knowledge, real-world insight, and bold leadership to City Hall to make Los Angeles a safer, more affordable, and more livable place. That means addressing homelessness with real solutions, reducing crime with accountability, and breaking the gridlock that chokes our streets and stifles opportunity.
From day one, I will activate and empower our 99 neighborhood councils, giving every community a voice and a seat at the table. Real change starts at the grassroots. - Los Angeles has spent billions, yet homelessness continues to rise. It is time for more thoughtful and compassionate solutions. My plan focuses on expanding access to mental health and addiction recovery services, and creating a clear pathway to permanent housing. We will treat this crisis with urgency and dignity. Keeping Los Angeles safe begins with supporting those who serve. I will ensure that our police officers, firefighters, and emergency responders have the necessary tools, training, and resources to protect our neighborhoods. Public safety is not a political talking point. It is a fundamental right for every resident.
- City Hall should serve the people. Los Angeles has the talent and resources to deliver world-class services, but too often the system gets in its way. With over 35 years of experience working inside city government, I know how to cut through the gridlock and deliver results. I will streamline city operations, reduce delays, and hold every department accountable. I have dedicated my life to public service and grassroots involvement. As a founding member of my local Neighborhood Council, I have seen the power of listening to our communities. My administration will prioritize genuine engagement, amplify local voices, and collaborate closely with neighborhoods to address challenges and foster a stronger city.
