MY FOCUS
Lowering Costs for Angelenos
Universal childcare, free public transportation until 18, and creating community-run grocery hubs for supplementing the basics.
Revitalize Business
Cut permitting costs, red tape, and incentivize new business and support the great ones we have!
Create and fight for better paying jobs.
Forge A Robust Indie Art Economy
Secure tax credits for independent filmmaking and other creatives to form a bustling industry of the arts for Angelenos.
An End to the Housing Crisis
End inter-departmental chaos of permitting and construction, increase housing construction, and lowering rents.
Accountability at City Hall
"Our city has become unrecognizable, expensive, and our global reputation has never been worse. We can change that pretty quickly. It just takes having a Councilmember that's tireless and passionate, one that really wants the job and knows how to do it.
I'm that person!"
