reimagine the rest

art and creative economy


Our artists and creatives that were left behind by the industry deserve better. Advocating for state and federal dollars to boost our creative and artistic economy will help revive our city as the ingenious hub it's known for!

I grew up in this film town and it breaks my heart to see its current state. I will be advocating for $100 Million from the state in tax credits specifically for small budget productions  (film, theater, tv) in Los Angeles. This will keep our creatives working and boost our local economy like never before.

economic development

Balancing the neighborhood and global appeals of CD13, our economy should be robust and attractive. 

Clean and safe elements will attract business and patrons so we must amplify those services in commercial corridors.

- Having an economic development director in the office that can expedite permits for new businesses and help eliminate redundancies in the city's process

- empty storefront activation program which will place non-profits, community organizations, and small businesses 

We must build housing that is community-guided and of all types. We have been doing housing wrong and we can start anew now. From "gentle density", missing middle, and denser options for our urban cores, we can revolutionize our city's approach to making more homes for future Angelenos.

LA River

Let's pick up where we left off and get back to reimagining the LA River.

community

Building community and strengthening community are my passion and getting people together to celebrate is a lovely thing that brings pride and purpose to those involved. 

city infrastructure

We have to reinvest in our infrastructure immediately. From the streetlights to the sidewalks, potholes and storm drains, we must prioritize the basics so we can continue to build an incredible Los Angeles. Looking at EIFD and other funding models. I know how to fight for and secure funding so I know our City can too!

empty storefronts

work with property owners and businesses and communtiy organizations to utilize the abundance of empty ground-level spaces.

tourism
Hollywood
We cannot let our Walk of Fame sit derelict any longer.
- change vendor behavior so that tourists, residents, and visitors aren't accosted.
- Provide additional clean and safe services to assist the Hollywood Partnership in their efforts
- Opening up premieres, awards and Walk of Fame ceremonies to the public for a better view of things!
safer streets
streets should work for the neighborhood and a street design should be holistic and led by the community. Safer, slower streets are critical and we need to introduce new ways of eliminating traffic deaths.
