  • I am running to restore dignity, safety, and compassion in Los Angeles by prioritizing mental health treatment and real solutions to homelessness. As someone who speaks directly with people living on our streets, I understand that homelessness is a humanitarian and public health crisis not a political talking point. My administration will expand mental health services, addiction treatment and rapid rehousing. We cannot arrest our way out of this; we need coordinated care, accountability, and support that actually gets people off the streets and into stable, long term housing.
  • I am a proud and vocal ally of the LGBTQ+ community and will fight to protect equality, civil rights, and safety for all. As a West Hollywood based candidate, I have seen firsthand how important it is for our city to defend LGBTQ+ residents from discrimination, violence, and policy rollbacks. I will champion inclusive policies, protect access to healthcare and safe spaces, and uplift LGBTQ+ small businesses, artists, and community organizations. Los Angeles should be a national model for equality and I will make sure every resident feels seen, supported, and protected.
  • Los Angeles needs sensible, practical leadership not extremism or political theatrics. As an immigrant, I understand struggle, responsibility, and resilience. I am focused on real issues public safety, affordable housing, economic opportunity, and government transparency. My campaign is driven by common sense, compassion, and a deep belief that government should serve the people, not special interests. I will work every day to restore trust and deliver results that make life better for all Angelenos.
I am passionate about public policies that address homelessness at its root, including mental-health care expansion, prevention programs, and compassionate street to housing pathways. I care deeply about government transparency, public safety that protects both residents and vulnerable communities, and restoring affordability across Los Angeles. I am also committed to LGBTQ+ equality and ensuring every Angeleno feels safe, included, and represented.
My campaign is currently in its early stages, and I am in active conversations with community leaders, nonprofit partners, and advocacy groups. I will update my endorsements as they are formally announced. My focus right now is on meeting residents directly and earning support through honest conversations and grassroots engagement.
