Candidate for
Council Member; City of Los Angeles; District 8

I believe politics is about people and solving issues and building strong, healthy, prosperous communities. I am a bridge-builder that seeks to work with people, residents, elected officials, nonprofit leaders, corporate leaders, business owners, educators and those that have an interest to help solve challenges by working together.

My political philosophy is to reach out to people, discuss issues, find common ground on issues and advocate together for the best solutions. Going through a process that vets the possibilities to get to the best possible solutions that people can agree on.

I believe in democracy and the importance of voting, and getting people registered to vote--and VOTE! I believe in one man/woman--one vote. It is critical that voters are encouraged and excited to vote--the more voters, the better the democracy functions and operates.

Working together, finding workable long term solutions to social, economic and community issues--and having leaders that listen, pay attention and strive to incorporate the will of the people they represent--and staying connected to them--that's my political philosophy.
