Bubba has devoted his career to creating safe streets and enhancing mobility across the LA region. He serves as a Transportation Deputy for Metro Board Chair and LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn. He previously served in Government Affairs at the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) where he worked to expand transit service and fight traffic violence.
Bubba is an LGBTQ+ leader who co-created Culver City’s first and only official Pride celebration which recently celebrated its fourth year bringing the joy of Pride to thousands of families across the Westside. The event features the largest Pride parade on bicycles in California and ends in a rally celebrating diversity, sustainability, and inclusivity.
As a renter for his entire adult life, Bubba understands the urgency of the housing crisis. Bubba served Culver City as Vice Chair of the Housing & Homelessness Committee for two years, supporting several projects that moved nearly a hundred formerly unhoused residents inside.
Bubba earned his Masters in Public Policy with a concentration in Urban Policy from UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs.
If elected, Bubba would be the youngest person on City Council and only the 2nd openly LGBTQ+ Councilmember in the city’s 100+ year history.
Bubba lives in East Culver City with his husband of five years, Aaron, and their dog Walter.- Culver City’s housing crisis has spiraled out of control. Renters face skyrocketing costs, young people and seniors are being priced out, and workers endure long commutes just to contribute here. It’s getting harder to make ends meet for anyone but the wealthy few.
As the only renter in this race, I understand the urgency of this crisis. My husband and I dream of starting a family and owning a home, but that future feels increasingly out of reach for so many young people.
We must ensure Culver City remains a place where people of all ages, races, and backgrounds can thrive. That’s why I’m stepping up to lead—to create a Culver City with abundant housing, safe streets, and services rooted in care. - Climate change is an existential threat, requiring coordination across all government levels to build a climate-resilient future. In Culver City, passenger vehicles are the largest source of emissions at 56%. Our city earned recognition for expanding complete streets downtown, but this progress was rolled back by a conservative Council. As Councilmember, I’ll prioritize expanding our bus, bike, and pedestrian network so residents across Culver City can travel safely and sustainably. Traffic collisions are the number one killer of children in Los Angeles County, which is why I’ve devoted my career to enhancing street safety and mobility across the region.
- Creating an inclusive Culver City requires a vision of public safety that goes the traditional singular focus on law enforcement. For too long, our police department has received the bulk of our resources, consuming nearly a third of our General Fund—more than any other department. It’s time for a modern, holistic vision of public safety. By prioritizing preventative care, investing in child care, senior programs, and encouraging community participation, we can ensure all residents feel secure and supported. Adopting proven strategies used nationwide, we can build a city that not only responds to challenges but invests in residents’ health, happiness, and resilience.
It’s important to know who donates to our leaders, what organizations they are a part of, and who they answer to.
It’s equally important to know what their vision is, because all too often, elected leaders lack a vision for the future beyond their own political survival or doing exactly what their loudest constituents or donors tell them to do.
I recently graduated with my Masters in Public Policy from UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs with a concentration in Urban Policy.
Individuals: State Senator Lola Smallwood Cuevas, State Assemblymember Isaac Bryan, County Supervisor Holly J Mitchell, Culver City Mayor Yasmine Imani-McMorrin, Culver City Councilmember Freddy Puza, and more.
