Our County is in crisis and billions of your tax dollars are wasted. Homelessness skyrocketed 25%, LA County received an F in air-quality from the American Lung Association, housing is unaffordable. I helped balance the federal budget in the Clinton White House. Since moving to Los Angeles County nearly fifteen years ago, I launched clean energy start-up companies, taught the next generation of leaders and advocated for progressive, data-driven solutions. As your Supervisor I will tackle: • Homelessness by placing 99% of our homeless in safe, permanent, supportive housing. I will donate half my salary until this happens. • Housing by creating 100,000 affordable units annually. • Environment by investing in green jobs and converting LA County to renewable energy. • Criminal Justice Reform by closing failed juvenile halls and implementing REAL oversight of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
My opponent supports Trump's inhumane immigration policies. She has failed to address problems like homelessness and the environment. It's time to elect a new LEADER!- Convert 95% of County-owned passenger vehicles to electric vehicles by 2023
- Donate half of my salary to ending homelessness in LA County until 99% of our homeless are in safe, permanent, supportive housing
- Immediately make all animal shelters no-kill shelters, 20,000 cats and dogs are being killed each year under the incumbent's guard
Climate change affects us right here in Southern California. Our homes are increasingly threatened by wildfires caused by extreme drought. Our air is becoming more and more difficult to breath. In fact, Los Angeles County currently has a failing grade in air quality from the American Lung Association.
Let's fix this locally by investing in green technology and reducing our carbon footprint by converting 95% of County-owned passenger vehicles to electric vehicles by 2023.
