Occupation
Attorney-at-Law
Candidate Statement in English

I am an attorney and a founding partner of the law firm Brown, Neri, Smith & Khan LLP. I moved to Santa Monica years ago because I believed then, as I do now, that Santa Monica is an exceptionally beautiful, vibrant and family-friendly community. However, our leadership must be vigilant and proactive to ensure that our community remains that way. 

Crime is surging, the homeless population has sharply increased and law enforcement struggles to manage and control aggressive and antisocial behavior at our beachfront, in our parks and other public areas. Our streets and popular neighborhoods are frequently gridlocked and unbearably congested. Change is needed or these problems will continue to get worse. 

I believe that I can bring new ideas and a fresh perspective to city council and create the momentum needed for real change. If elected, I will focus on addressing the public safety and related issues that threaten to undermine and erode quality of life in our community. 

I will also remain fiercely independent. Our city council must represent the interests of the entire community, not just those individuals or groups of individuals who are the most vocal and well-funded. 

I hope to earn your vote!

Declaración del candidato en Español

Soy abogado y socio fundador del estudio jurídico Brown, Neri, O Smith & Khan LLP. Me mudé a Santa Mónica hace años porque creía en ese entonces, y aún creo, que Santa Mónica es una comunidad excepcionalmente hermosa, dinámica y familiar. Sin embargo, nuestro liderazgo debe estar alerta y ser proactivos para garantizar que nuestra comunidad continúe siendo como es. 

Los crímenes van en aumento, la población sin vivienda creció radicalmente y las fuerzas policiales luchan para manejar y controlar conductas agresivas y antisociales en nuestras playas, nuestros parques y otras áreas públicas. Hay embotellamientos frecuentes y P los barrios populares se encuentran insufriblemente congestionados. A Necesitamos un cambio o estos problemas continuarán empeorando. 

Creo que puedo aportar ideas nuevas y una perspectiva original al Concejo Municipal, y generar el impulso necesario para lograr un cambio verdadero. Si soy electo, me centraré en solucionar los problemas de seguridad pública y otros asuntos relacionados que amenazan con debilitar y dañar la calidad de vida en nuestra comunidad. 

Además, continuaré siendo absolutamente independiente. El Concejo de nuestra ciudad debe representar los intereses de toda la comunidad, no solo los de aquellos individuos o grupos que tienen poder de expresión y están bien financiados. 

Espero ganar su voto.
