Mayor Bass' top City Council ally removed me as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee. The Mayor may be trying to punish me for challenging her, but Angelenos are the ones who pay the price for these political games.

It’s moving, but where are the people? This project was supposed to open over three years ago and is almost $1 billion over budget. What went wrong? The project’s contractor, LINXS, has essentially been extorting the city for years. Now Mayor Bass’ Airport Commissioners are making YOU pay for it by tripling fees on Uber and Lyft rides.

Los Angeles only uses 12 out of our 28 pothole repair trucks. Why? We can’t pay for the drivers. City Hall signed contracts we knew we couldn’t afford, which resulted in a budget deficit, forcing us to make cuts to city services.

It’s not okay for anyone to be sleeping on the sidewalk in the world’s richest country. We can fix this. My promise: When I’m mayor, we’ll cut tents and encampments in half by the Olympics and bring everyone in tents and encampments indoors by the end of my first term.

When you call 911 to report a crime, you shouldn’t be put on hold. Many Angelenos don’t trust official crime statistics, because when responses are slow, crimes don’t get reported. On council, I’ve voted against contracts and projects pushed by powerful interests that have bankrupted the city and taken money away from basic city services. When I’m mayor, 911 calls will be answered immediately, and the right help will come quickly.

Street homelessness in LA rose 8%. This problem isn't unsolvable. It's mismanaged. Another approach is possible, and the results in my council district prove it. Street homelessness is down 49% in CD4, and I will bring the same approach citywide as your next mayor.

A few months ago this campaign was a long shot. Now, we're advancing to the general election. We got here because people across Los Angeles believe in something better: a city where Angelenos can afford to live, work, and build a future.

I’m so excited to have the support of UNITE HERE Local 11. The people who make this city run- the people who clean hotel rooms, who cook meals, who work at the airport- should be able to afford to live here. I don’t think that this is a radical demand. I think this is the least our city owes Angelenos and together we will build it.

Angelenos are frustrated right now. I'm frustrated right now. That's why I decided to run. If it feels like the mayor isn't listening, drags her feet, and isn't focused on the things that matter most in people's daily lives...that's because it's true. You deserve leaders who show up, do the work, and fight for you every day.

Infrastructure failures like this week’s water main break in West Hollywood are the result of decades of neglect. Los Angeles cannot be governed from crisis to crisis. We must plan ahead for the inevitable. As mayor, I will proactively invest in infrastructure and make sure that the city of LA is a strong partner to all other cities in the region.

Picture a Los Angeles where every child can walk to a safe, clean park in their neighborhood. Right now, we’re one of the most park-poor cities in the nation, but we can change that. As mayor, we’ll create a lot more spaces for families to gather, play, and thrive. 🌳

Los Angeles deserves a mayor that doesn't drag their feet. Karen Bass promised change. Instead, Angelenos got delays. It took years to appoint a film liaison. Our animal shelters went years without stable leadership. Whenever our city needs urgency, City Hall moves too slowly. These aren't just bureaucratic delays. They have real consequences for the people who live and work here. LA needs a mayor that acts with urgency, builds a strong team, and gets things done. That's the kind of leadership I will bring to City Hall.
