Tish Hyman is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, entrepreneur, and activist who has called Los Angeles home for over a decade. Known for her work with top artists and her own viral single “Lucky,” she now steps into public leadership. Running for Mayor of Los Angeles in 2026, Tish is focused on championing women’s safety, tackling homelessness with compassion, revitalizing nightlife, and ensuring affordable housing. With her mix of creativity and pragmatic policy, Tish brings a fresh, independent voice to the city she loves.
  • Right now in Los Angeles, there’s no law protecting women from men entering their intimate spaces—whether that’s locker rooms, sports, or massage facilities. Tish is committed to ensuring women have the same right to protected spaces as men. Women are delicate, vital, and we birth the nation—we deserve protection. These boundaries prevent harassment and uphold our fundamental rights—because protecting women means protecting the future.
  • We need to tackle homelessness with accountability, compassion, and a clear resolve to solve it. The real problem is that some organizations benefit from people remaining on the streets. Tish is committed to ending that cycle—redirecting resources from ineffective programs to real solutions. She’ll ensure funds are spent on housing, rehabilitation, and services—so we help people off the streets for good.
  • Fiscal responsibility has been a major challenge in Los Angeles. Tish is dedicated to capping rents, easing tax burdens, and ensuring fair housing. But it starts with accountability—she’ll push for a full audit of city spending to balance what we’re bringing in and what we’re spending—making L.A. truly affordable again.
Tish is passionate about ensuring women’s safety through clear protections, addressing homelessness with compassion and accountability, revitalizing nightlife safely, and making housing truly affordable so everyone can thrive in Los Angeles. She believes in practical, fair solutions that empower the entire community. She also believes in a parent’s right to be involved in their children’s education and ensuring transparency in school curriculums. Additionally, she champions fair treatment and proper compensation for service industry workers, recognizing their vital role in L.A. .'s economy while also balancing and protecting the interests of ALL business owners via tax breaks and creative, lucrative incentives.
