I am running because I believe the best days for Los Angeles lie ahead. We live in one of the most advantaged regions of the world, but we face serious challenges: Housing, Transportation, Public Safety, and sustainable economic growth all present both challenges and opportunities. Through new and fresh policy ideas, we can bring down the cost of housing, build a modern transportation system that benefits all users, ensure our neighborhoods are safe and usable, and every person can live the life they wish.
Together we can build a Los Angeles that is the global city of choice for the 21st century and beyond.

I am a born and raised Angeleno, and I want future generations to enjoy the same opportunities I had growing up here.
My wife and I live in the Westwood area with our two rescue dogs. I have a BA in History from Gonzaga University, an MA in Economics from Cal State LA, and a professional accounting certificate from SMC. I currently work as a financial accountant for a small creative business, and my wife is a Professional Engineer.
We feel blessed to live in the greatest city in the world. For generations, Los Angeles has been the place of fanciful dreams and unlimited opportunity.
We were the light source on the shining city on the hill.
Now, too many wish to fossilize memories of an imagined past, halting progress and limiting opportunity. We risk being left behind unless we take action to move ourselves forward. We need elected officals committed to service and representing the interests of all constituents.
I humbly ask for your support.
The housing crisis is the number one challenge facing the Los Angeles area, and for too long the city government has been a major barrier to fixing the crisis. To shift the supply curve and permanently solve this issue, we must address the root cause of the crisis: decades of segregationist zoning and restrictive land use laws. It is both a moral and economic necessity to if we wish to build a city that works for all its residents.
The Southern California region has made great strides the past few years, and future investments will continue this path. We can leverage these advancements to maximize opportunity for the city. Unlike the Incumbent, I fully support SB79 and the other housing and transportation bills passed in recent years, and I will utilize them for maximal benefit.
I am, however, very disturbed that the City is using dishonesty and gamesmanship to avoid following HLA and Federal ADA laws. I support the intent behind HLA and Vision Zero, and I will work to put these policies into practice. Obviously auto transportation should be a major priority, but it need not be the only priority. All street level users deserve safety when going about their lives.
All Angelenos deserve safe, clean, and usable infrastructure, regardless of neighborhood or status. Both law enforcement and social service providers play a part in maintaining the public square. Law Enforcement is a necessary part of society, and the LAPD has taken strides to improve certain structural issues, there is still progress to be made.
I do not support using any city resources to support federal immigration agencies as long as they view themselves as an anticonstitutional and extrajudicial occupation force.
Westwood Village was once a vibrant economic and social hub for West LA. Today it sits as a shell of its former self. Fault lies directly at the feet of the City and the 5th Council district office for the decay of this valuable social and economic asset. As a council member, I will make the revitalization of this area a top priority.
