Candidate Statement in English
Santa Monica needs bold, progressive leadership to address our ongoing challenges. As an environmental attorney and the former Chair of the Santa Monica Planning Commission, I have a proven track record of success. I work with public agencies and community stakeholders across California to build strong, safe, and sustainable cities. My work has helped save open space, preserve parkland, and protect public access to the coast. As a Planning Commissioner, I fought for programs that protect renters, promote affordability, and support local businesses.
As your next City Councilmember, I will:
Advocate for common sense public safety policies and empower our first responders to address 21st Century challenges.
Implement programs that address homelessness by tackling the underlying causes of the housing crisis and by ensuring that our City’s frontline workers have the resources they need to provide services to individuals experiencing mental health crises.
Fight for the strongest possible protections for renters, including new rent subsidies and emergency rent relief programs.
Protect our environment and ensure that our City is prepared to address climate change.
Continue to support local businesses as we recover from the ongoing effects of the COVID pandemic.
Together, we can build a stronger Santa Monica!
