Key Initiatives

Supercharging Economic Opportunity

Los Angeles should be the global leader in entertainment, creativity, and innovation but we’re letting it slip away. Jobs are leaving because it’s too expensive and too hard to operate here.

From film production to small businesses to growing industries like tech and aerospace, City Hall is making it harder to build and grow, and that’s costing us jobs.

How We Fix It
● Make LA competitive for entertainment jobs again - Fully staff and empower the city’s film office to fast-track permits, coordinate across
departments, and make Los Angeles the easiest place to produce again.
● Fix the permitting process across the board - Businesses shouldn’t have to wait months just to open their doors. Cut delays, reduce
bureaucracy, and create a system that actually works.
● Lower the cost of doing business - Work with state leaders on incentives and remove outdated rules that drive up costs and push jobs out of LA.
● Support key industries like tech and aerospace - Keep and grow the industries that power our local economy by making it easier to operate and expand in Los Angeles.

Lower Costs & Build What We Need

Housing is too expensive, and the system is a big part of the problem. It takes too long to build, costs too much, and as a result, families are getting priced out.

We need to build more housing and do it in a way that actually works and delivers results.

How We Fix It

Make it faster and easier to build housing - Projects that meet the rules shouldn’t get stuck for years. Move to by-right approvals and clear timelines so housing gets built in months, not years.
Focus growth where it makes sense - Build more housing near transit and along commercial corridors, with mixed-use development that creates walkable neighborhoods and supports small businesses.
Lower the cost of building, including affordable housing - Cut delays and unnecessary hurdles so we can actually build, especially the affordable housing we need more of.
We can’t lower housing costs without building more housing - Increasing supply at all levels is essential to bringing costs down and keeping families in Los Angeles.
Protect renters and ensure fair outcomes - Fully fund legal services so both tenants and landlords can resolve disputes quickly and fairly, protecting renters while preventing abuse of the system.

Make Our Communities Safer

People don’t feel as safe as they used to—and response times are too slow, which puts people at risk.

Public safety isn’t just about adding more—it’s about making sure the system actually works, with the right resources in the right places.

How We Fix It

Strengthen fire response and emergency services - Increase staffing, expand capacity, and invest in the infrastructure needed to ensure faster response times across every neighborhood.
Support firefighters and expand local response capacity - Build on programs like CERT and explore ways to expand community-based emergency response to support professional crews.
Use police more effectively - Keep officers focused on real public safety work, not administrative tasks, by shifting paperwork and support roles to civilian staff.
Send the right response to the right situation - Expand unarmed crisis response for mental health and non-violent calls so police can focus on serious public safety needs.

Homelessness: A Compassionate and No-Nonsense Approach

We cannot accept people living on our sidewalks, in our parks, or near our schools but the current system isn’t working.

We’re spending billions of dollars without clear results. That’s not compassion, it’s failure.

How We Fix It

Demand accountability for every dollar - Strengthen the City Controller’s authority to audit homelessness spending and ensure funding goes only to programs that actually work.
Test what works and scale it - Partner with proven nonprofits willing to be fully transparent, run targeted pilot programs, and expand the models that deliver real results.
Focus on housing with real support - Invest in housing that includes mental health care, addiction treatment, and job support so people can stay off the street.
Stop wasting money on broken approaches - We’re spending too much money on programs that don’t deliver results. We need to invest in solutions that actually help people stabilize.
Be compassionate and actually solve the problem - We shouldn’t be criminalizing homelessness, but moving people from block to block isn’t a solution. The goal is getting people into care and housing where they can rebuild their lives.

Fix What's Broken

Our city is falling apart and City Hall keeps reacting instead of planning ahead.

Sidewalks take years to fix, streetlights stay broken, and basic services keep getting worse. The problem isn’t just money, it’s that no one is in charge.

How We Fix It

Create a real infrastructure plan - Focus on the basics: streets, sidewalks, parks, and streetlights, so we fix problems before they get worse.
Put one person in charge - Create a Head of Infrastructure to coordinate departments and make sure projects actually get done.
Break down silos at City Hall - Align departments under one plan so projects stop getting delayed by bureaucracy.
Fix 311 and response times - Make it easier to report issues, track progress, and get faster responses.
Plan smarter, deliver faster - Better planning means fewer delays and lower costs.

Make It Safer and Easier to Get Around

Traffic is getting worse, and too many of our streets feel unsafe, especially for families.

Our kids should be able to walk to school or ride their bikes in their own neighborhoods without being put at risk.

How We Fix It

Make streets safer for everyone - Crack down on dangerous driving and street racing, and focus on preventing injuries so families feel safe getting around.
Fix the most dangerous areas first - Prioritize high-risk intersections and corridors where accidents are happening, and implement fast, practical safety improvements.
Expand the LA River bike path - Connect existing segments into a continuous pathway that gives residents a safe, accessible option for recreation and getting around.
Reduce traffic with smarter solutions - Encourage policies like remote work incentives that can reduce congestion without relying only on expanding roads.

Break the System That Isn’t Working

City Hall isn’t broken by accident; it’s being run by the same insiders, donors, and political networks, and it’s not working for the people who live here.

Too many decisions are driven by backroom deals and political favors, not what’s best for the people who live here. That’s why nothing gets fixed, and no one is held accountable.

How We Fix It

Bring real accountability to City Hall - Strengthen the City Controller’s authority and resources to fully audit departments and major programs so we know where the money is going and what’s actually working.
Reduce the influence of big money in city elections - Support stricter limits and stronger oversight on campaign spending and lobbying so City Hall works for residents, not special interests.
Shine a light on contracts and outside spending - Increase transparency around consultants, contracts, and major spending so taxpayers know where the money is going and backroom deals can’t happen in the dark.
Expand representation so every community has a voice - Increase the size of the City Council to reduce concentrated power and better represent neighborhoods across Los Angeles.
