Candidate Statement in English
I am a veterans’ rights attorney and longtime Santa Monica tenant running as a challenger for Rent Control Board. I am running because we need a new voice on the Board to ensure that Santa Monica neighborhoods and tenants who live in our community are protected.
Stable, affordable housing is the foundation of a diverse, equitable, and prosperous community. Without Rent Control, there would be no place in Santa Monica for middle-income folks like me, let alone people like my veteran clients who are mostly seniors and people with disabilities living on fixed incomes.
Santa Monica tenants and our neighborhoods continue to be at risk due to gentrification, Ellis evictions, and companies avoiding regulations and turning homes into exorbitant corporate housing. As an attorney who often negotiates settlements to keep tenants in their homes, I have the experience and capacity to be fair to all parties who come before the Rent Control Board.
I am proud to have been endorsed by Santa Monicans for Renters Rights (SMRR). If elected, I will fight to keep Santa Monica’s neighborhoods livable and ensure that we renters are safe and secure in our homes!
