- Standing Up for our Community
A More Affordable Los Angeles
Every Angeleno should be able to build a life here without being priced out of their neighborhood.
A Council Office that Shows Up
City Hall has failed to respond to our needs, and we’re tired of waiting for basic services.
Jobs & Pathways to Economic Mobility
Too many young people are held back by bureaucratic barriers that make it harder to access job training or land well-paying, stable jobs that lead to upward mobility.
Investing in South LA
While our district includes major economic anchors, the benefits of these institutions rarely reach the surrounding communities/
Increase Greenspace in South LA
We can transform our neighborhoods by expanding access to parks, bike paths, and open spaces.
Standing Up for our Community
We must be united in defending our city from unlawful attacks by the Trump Administration.
