Because the current leadership is trapped by politics. They fear liability, so they won't lease motels. They fear activists, so they won't enforce ADA laws. They fear the status quo, so they won't fund alternatives to police overtime. I am an operator, not a career politician. I will follow the law and deliver results.

No. Clearing without placement is a shell game — you push people three blocks down to someone else's front door. My rule is Resolve → Restore → Hold, with documented offers and lawful enforcement. I'm not running to be the Sheriff. I'm running to be the Maintenance Chief.

Because I am the only one willing to fine the contractors. Construction companies close lanes because it's cheaper to leave their cones up than to take them down every night. I will make it expensive to block your commute. I prioritize your time over their convenience.

I'm pro-pow. I will not support removing a car lane unless the data proves it will reduce overall congestion by moving people to bikes and transit. Right now, we build bike lanes that nobody uses because they are dangerous "lanes to nowhere." That wastes pavement and hurts traffic. I build connected lanes that people actually use. Every bike in that lane is a car removed from your commute.

Because you hate traffic. The Expo Line can move 20,000 people an hour. A freeway lane moves 2,000. If the train is unsafe, those 20,000 people get back in their cars and get in front of you on the 405. Making transit safe is the single most selfish thing a driver can do to fix traffic.

Absolutely not. A tenant has a lease, pays rent, and has rights that I will aggressively protect. A squatter breaks a window, forges a document, and steals a home. My administration will know the difference. We will not let criminals hide behind laws meant for struggling families.

I'm a realist. I can shout "go play outside" all day, but if they want to game, they will game. I'd rather they do it in a supervised City center where they're safe and socializing, rather than alone in their room or getting into trouble on the street. E-Sports is a billion-dollar industry. Let's prepare them for it.

Because they are the hardest-working people in District 11. If a single mom can't afford after-school care, she can't work. If she can't work, she loses her housing. Supporting single parents isn't charity— it is homelessness prevention.

Because my office will publish a live District Dashboard. If I'm failing, you'll see the red numbers. I will treat you like board members and report my results every month.
