@gavinnewsom.bsky.social calls for anti-camping laws statewide. We must do it — to protect lives, neighborhoods & businesses — but only with housing, shelter & mental health services. Safety & compassion must go hand in hand. 💬 Agree?

I’m running for City Council in CD13 to make this happen.
We don’t need more press conferences. We need systems that actually work.
We can fix this. We just have to build the infrastructure for it.

📌 Before You Sign Anything..
✔️ Read every page (yes, even the boring parts)
✔️ Check for hidden fees
✔️ Ask about rent increases
Because surprises are great — just not on your lease.

You can’t tackle LA’s housing crisis by exploiting underpaid workers who can’t afford the homes they build. The Mayor's office highlighting a partnership with a developer known for violating labor laws is deeply misguided. It's not a flex.
