Honored to have the endorsement of my dear friend, Samuel L. Jackson Sam has always shown up for the people and causes he believes in - and I am grateful he is showing up for Los Angeles. We’re aligned on the change I’m working to bring to L.A. That means getting more people off the streets into housing and connected with comprehensive services. It means more affordable housing units being built. And it means continuing to lower crime down to historic lows.

I'm not waiting for studies or blue ribbon reports to tell us there's a homelessness crisis. I took action. State of Emergency on day 1. Inside Safe. Fast tracked affordable housing. Now homelessness is down 2 years in a row.

I had a great time meeting with environmentalists in the West Valley this week. Climate change is one of the defining challenges facing Los Angeles - and getting together with people who are deeply committed to solutions is how we build a plan that actually works. I'm looking forward to what we're going to do together in the months ahead.

Mayor Bass started the fight against ICE and she’s proud that our city stood together with tens of thousands joining in. Now Greg Bovino is reportedly headed for retirement. Angelenos will never back down from protecting our immigrant neighbors.

I’m proud to earn the endorsement of California Women's List, an organization dedicated to electing and supporting women leaders across our state. Their support means a great deal as we continue moving Los Angeles forward.

Homelessness is DOWN in Los Angeles for back-to-back years for the first time ever. Our comprehensive approach to get people off the streets and with a roof over their heads is working, and there’s more work to be done. This a huge step for Los Angeles and toward tackling the homelessness crisis.

I ran for mayor because I couldn’t accept the homelessness I saw on our streets. Since then, we’ve reduced homelessness by 11%, cut veteran homelessness by 50%, and brought homicides to a 60-year low. With the Olympics coming to Los Angeles, we need leadership that delivers. I’m committed to building on this progress so our city is ready—and Angelenos see lasting benefits.

The rent is too damn high! That’s why I signed ED1 right when I got into office, to speed up affordable housing. Hugo Soto-Martínez and I have spent the last four years working tirelessly to make life more affordable for Angelenos, and every day we’re making progress.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYBODY WHO TELLS ME THAT IT’S OKAY FOR MY FOLKS TO LANGUISH ON THE STREETS AND THEY GO HOME TO A BED. I’ve fought the systemic neglect of Black and Latino communities since my days as a grassroots activist right here. As a daughter of L.A., this fight is personal—and with your support, we will keep demanding the housing, dignity, and justice our people deserve.

We won on Tuesday – and LA rejected Spencer Pratt and the MAGA agenda. Next, we'll win in November! Because this is an election with a choice between whether we keep making change together or Nithya Raman who allows encampments near schools and fights against hiring more cops, yet is MIA on saving Hollywood jobs and fighting back when ICE invades LA

People always told me LA isn’t a transit city. Then we made Metro free for students and expanded rail across the county — and Angelenos took 305 million rides last year. As your mayor and the chair of Metro, I’m making Metro Safe, Affordable, Reliable, and Ready for 2028.

The role of a leader is to protect and defend their people. It’s dangerous and extreme to hear the President suggest that our city should be attacked. LA was Trump’s first target last year, but we refuse to be intimidated.

Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez and I have a lot more in common than folks might think. We’re both lifelong organizers driven by a sense of justice, and a commitment to working together and building a coalition to deliver for Angelenos. I’m honored to have his support for our campaign!

More tax credits. Less fees. Streamlined Permitting. That's how we keep film & TV jobs in LA. When the lights go down, I think about the people who made what's on that screen: the grips, the crews, the caterers, the set builders. I created the first tax credit in Sacramento, and I helped expand it as Mayor. We appointed a Film Czar to help filmmakers avoid bureaucracy. Cut filming fees at Griffith Observatory cut by 70%. Reopened the Central Library to production after more than a decade. Issued Executive Directives to cut the red tape that was pushing shoots out of LA. Whatever it takes to protect film jobs in Los Angeles, I'll do it. Alongside the unions and the working people who built this industry.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to devote my life to fighting for justice. Being your mayor has taught me that when we stand together in solidarity, we make Los Angeles stronger. I’ll always stand with Angelenos and fight for the city we love.

I declared a homelessness state of emergency on day one — because no Angeleno should be left to die on our streets. We’ve cleaned up over 140 encampments and gotten thousands of people inside, but we need to completely overhaul the system to fully address this crisis.

$937 for an apartment in DTLA? Say less. We're driving down the cost of rents & mortgages by turning vacant offices into new homes. After 26 years of inaction, I expanded LA's Adaptive Reuse program citywide -- clearing the way for as many as 43,000 new homes across Los Angeles. Now the old World Trade Center that’s been sitting vacant for years is becoming 512 homes, 100% affordable, right in the heart of downtown. Because everyone deserves a place to call home. 💙
