But after the primary, we had to start over from scratch, so we need you to rush your matching donation right now to help fuel this campaign.
Thanks to LA's super match program, every qualified donation from Los Angeles residents is matched 6-to-1 by the city.
We will always protect our neighbors, and we continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with immigrant families in LA and everywhere.
Residents, public agencies and elected officials have repeatedly sought timely information regarding the cleanup, remediation, environmental monitoring and recovery.
I directed city departments to halt plans to rebuild the warehouse until the health and safety of the community are protected.
Too often, those requests have been met with delayed communication, limited transparency, and insufficient public engagement.
I understand why residents are frustrated. They deserve transparency, clear communication, and meaningful support.

Ultimately people will lose their lives. We urge HUD to work with the City of Los Angeles to provide the necessary funding to reduce homelessness.
We won on Tuesday — and LA rejected Spencer Pratt and the MAGA agenda. Next, we'll win in November!
We look forward to winning a contest against an opponent who allows encampments near schools and fights against hiring more cops, yet is MIA on saving Hollywood jobs and fighting back when ICE invades LA.
I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I’m going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.
