Preserving and Protecting Our Past
Preparing For Our Future

I’ve lived in Santa Monica for 24 years, am a proud father of two kids attending our public schools and have been honored to serve the voters as Councilmember and now Mayor Pro Tem over the last four years.

Santa Monica is a great place to live, but we can make it even better by preserving and protecting our past and preparing for our future. I will work to:

Protect our residential neighborhoods from commercial intrusions and overdevelopment.

Preserve existing housing to keep Santa Monicans in Santa Monica.

Maintain our diversity by protecting low-income tenants and seniors.

Address our most important challenge: improving mobility on our congested streets.

Incentivize adaptive reuse of our historic buildings.

Continue and enhance our commitment to education.

Support robust public safety budgets.

Reduce homelessness.

Assure a safe, reliable supply of local water.

Add 15 acres of parks to the 8 recently created.

Convert the airport to a great park.

Support locally owned small businesses.

Assure the economic engine of our downtown thrives in a manner sensitive to community standards.

Congressman Ted Lieu, State Senator Ben Allen and many others endorse my reelection. I hope you will also support me with your vote.
