Civil Rights As a council member, I will fight for everyone, including LGBTQ people, our ethnic communities, women, the disabled, and all other marginalized people, and make sure that West Hollywood continues to be a haven for people who don't have a home elsewhere. Abortion / Contraception I want the city to be able to assist people seeking medical care that may be banned in their home state, without compromising their privacy, and I am actively looking at ways this can be done. Infrastructure / Transportation On top of that, I want to also incentivize people for having electric vehicles. We could incentivize "greener" vehicles by offering perks like free electric vehicle charging in public city lots, and potentially even offering discounted or free parking. Housing We have to make sure that we aren't pricing out our long-term and working-class residents, while still preserving the buildings and places that mean the most to us. In turn, it is also important that we allow new developments to be responsibly built in our city so that we can provide those new affordable units. Government Reform I want to create a "dashboard" on the city website that would show what items are due (applications, permit fees, etc), when they are due, when they've been turned in, and who is responsible for next steps. Infrastructure / Transportation I'm a huge supporter of expanding the metro line through West Hollywood, specifically the Fairfax/San Vicente Hybrid, which would be fantastic for everyone who lives, works, and plays in West Hollywood. Social Services I want to bring a program like Project Connect to West Hollywood. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As a city council member, I will vote to restore the Sheriff's budget.
