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.

I’m proud to have the support of Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, a partner who shares a deep commitment to progressive, people-first policies. Together, we’ve strengthened tenant protections, advanced housing stability, and worked to address homelessness and community safety. Thank you, Hugo, for your endorsement and for standing with us as we build a more just and affordable Los Angeles.

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.

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

The change I’ve been bringing to Los Angeles is making an impact: ➡️ Street homelessness is down 17.5% ➡️ Comprehensive services are coming on line so people coming off the streets can stay off the streets ➡️ 42,000 affordable housing units are being fast-tracked There’s still a lot more work to do, but my initiatives have brought momentum to LA to continue fixing these problems.

When I became mayor, Los Angeles was facing challenges that had been ignored for decades. So I got to work. Homelessness is down 17.5%. Homicides are at their lowest level since the 1960s. More than 42,000 affordable housing units are being fast-tracked. There is still more work to do to make L.A. safer, more affordable, and a city that works for everyone.

Hollywood is part of L.A.’s identity. The entertainment industry should be able to thrive in the city that built it. That’s why I cut filming fees, reduced unnecessary production costs, and reopened city buildings for filming to help keep jobs and production in Los Angeles. There’s still a lot more work to do, but we’re finally seeing an uptick in production in L.A.

I want to thank the LA County Democratic Party and Chair Mark Ramos for their continued support and partnership. I could not have won last week's election without them and I'm excited to continue working together for the next 4 years!

Street homelessness and crime are down. Affordable housing is up. We're turning the page and making real progress after decades of inaction. Thank you so much to the more than 200 people who rallied in support of our campaign at our volunteer HQ opening!

I clashed with Trump's ICE agents and Angeleno's locked arms to protect our neighbors. I achieved the first two-year drop in homelessness ever. I battled red tape and insurers to help families rebuild from fires. Now, I haven't always got it right. There's more work to do. With your help, I'll keep fighting for LA.

My grandson is eleven years old, and he's already learned what fear feels like – the kind that comes from seeing ICE near your school, watching people you know and love be affected. My mother taught me that children are everyone's responsibility. I believe that with everything I have. These are our kids. All of them.

My father and I had a ritual - sit together and watch the news. He'd interpret what I was seeing. I was a little girl watching history happen - and all I wanted was to grow up fast enough to get involved.

After years of decline, production in LA is moving in the right direction. We still have a long way to go, but we're making it easier, faster, and more affordable to film in LA. Low-cost permits for smaller productions. Reduced parking costs. Cutting through the red tape that's pushed productions out for too long. LA is the entertainment capital of the world. That's what we're fighting to protect.

One year ago, this city was shaken. None of us could have imagined being invaded by our own federal government. When troops descended on Los Angeles, I showed up and said what needed to be said: this will not happen in the nation's second largest city. We are still reeling, and it is so important that people be reminded - this has not ended. No matter when you arrived, why you came, or where you came from, I will always fight to protect every Angeleno.

I’m running to keep doing the hard work of moving L.A. forward. Together, we’ve delivered the first sustained decrease in street homelessness in decades, made our city safer through innovative community safety strategies, accelerated tens of thousands of new housing units to make life more affordable, and stood strong against Donald Trump’s attacks on our immigrant communities. But there is still more to do. Join me at
