Since COVID, our city has been through a lot—and in many ways, we haven’t fully healed.
You can feel it in our communities—in how people interact, and in the growing sense of disconnection.
I believe this is a time for Los Angeles to come together—not just to move forward, but to heal.
That starts with going back to the basics: listening to one another, communicating with respect, and showing up with compassion—even when we don’t agree.
As we prepare to welcome the world for the Olympics, this matters even more. Los Angeles has always been a global city—but to truly host well, we have to come together first.

Through my work in mental health and crisis response, I’ve seen how deeply people are struggling—and how often systems fall short.
We must strengthen mental health response, expand access to addiction treatment, and create real pathways out of homelessness—with both compassion and accountability.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood.
That means supporting public safety, strengthening community trust, and addressing the root causes of crime—not just reacting to it.

Housing in Los Angeles has become out of reach for too many families.
We need practical solutions—building more housing, improving systems, and making it possible for people to stay and build their lives here.

As part of the sandwich generation, I understand the pressure families are under—balancing children, parents, work, and rising costs.
I will focus on policies that support real life—affordability, access to care, and stronger support systems for families across Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is one of the most diverse cities in the world—and that’s our strength.
I believe leadership means bringing people together, listening first, and working across differences to find real solutions that move our city forward.
