The Eastside political scene in 2026 will be busy and often combative. People to watch include @AsmMarkGonzalez, state Sen. and County Supervisor hopeful Maria Elena Durazo, and District 13 council rep @HugoForCD13. My @TheEastsiderLA story. theeastsiderla.com/news/governmen…

My mom always told my sisters and me, “don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.”  And as I think about the ramifications of the so-called Billionaire Tax, I can’t help but hear her voice. We need a rising economic tide to lift all boats, not a political plan that will sink California's innovation economy. (1/5)

OMG I just noticed that this article says that Eunisses has spent $27M on MacArthur Park, and it looks so much worse than when she came into office. WHERE IS THE KENNY MEJIA AUDIT??? latimes.com/california/sto…

For those keeping track, election day in Los Angeles (and, yes, the rest of California) is 6 months from today--on June 2. Angelenos will vote for mayor, city attorney, controller & 8 council seats. My recent @WestsideCurrent look at 5 compelling races. westsidecurrent.com/elections/op-e…

Do you agree? ktla.com/news/local-new…

As the 2026 elections approach, something unexpected is happening—the city of L.A. has a hefty batch of competitive races, from the @MayorOfLA re-election bid to a 2-person Council District 11 battle. And there's much more. My @WestsideCurrent piece. westsidecurrent.com/elections/op-e…

This is not how a world-class city functions.

Santa Monica is moving full force ahead with its $60M Realignment Plan, including $3.5M for new signage, landscaping, and sidewalk repairs. westsidecurrent.com/santa_monica/s…

1000%. The only way we will get change is to quit looking for talent solely from inside the house. More Democratic candidates should be sourced from the private sector with real world experience and skin in the game.

Ample criticism of @EunissesH at District 1 candidates forum. "We have not had leadership for three years,” said Lou Calanche. Raul Claros said his CD1 Coalition has "pretty much been the de facto council office." Hernandez didn't attend. @TheEastsiderLA. theeastsiderla.com/neighborhoods/…

We couldn't agree more!

Important LA news:

@LA_Multi_Fam @LAMultiBroker @TAYVAY_ Agreed. Thanks for amplifying. The next 6 months must be an all-hands-on-deck fight to save LA, with 8 city council seats up in 2026 plus city wide seats in the City of LA. @thrive_la will be the tip of the spear. thrivelosangeles.org/become_a_member

If you’re seeing #LACounty glowing green this week 💚 it’s for a reason. We’re lighting up the night for our #Veterans through #OperationGreenLight 11/4-11/11 a national show of gratitude and support for those who served.

... now our County and State leaders must do the same. We should all be livid over a system that prioritizes the supposed civil liberties of those who are deeply addicted over everyone else’s right to access and use the public spaces for which they are paying. (2/2)

The city and Santa Monica Place are partnering to open a new @santamonicapd substation. The substation is a cornerstone investment of the city’s newly adopted Realignment Plan, which prioritizes public safety & downtown revitalization. Read more: santamonica.gov/press/2025/10/…
