Candidate Statement in English

As your Mayor Pro Tem, I am humbled to work with our resilient and innovative community to confront the challenges of 2020, including COVID-19 and the fallout from May 31st. 

During this uncertain time, protecting health and safety has been paramount. My training in Public Policy and Business and experience founding successful companies and nonprofits has also positioned me to help rebuild our economy and connect residents to resources. I am doing what I have always done - put people first. 

During my term, I protected our partnership with Santa Monica schools - funding playgrounds and classrooms; protected senior housing programs and services; increased housing; converted Big Blue Bus to zero emission and zero carbon; increased resiliency of our water supply; and opened streets to pedestrians and bikes, including protected bike lanes on Broadway, safe routes to schools, and parking lane dining on Main Street. 

This work must continue. I will remain a strong voice for renters' rights, human scale neighborhoods, environmental sustainability, reimagining public safety and social and economic justice. 

 My endorsements include: State Senator Ben Allen, Assemblymember Richard Bloom, and School Board Vice President Laurie Lieberman. 

As a parent, homeowner, and longtime resident, I would be honored to have your vote too.

Declaración del candidato en Español

Como su Alcalde Interino, me siento humilde de trabajar con nuestra comunidad resiliente e innovadora para enfrentar los desafíos de 2020, incluyendo el COVID-19 y las repercusiones desde el 31 de mayo. 

Durante este tiempo incierto, proteger la salud y la seguridad ha sido primordial. Mi formación en Política Pública y Negocios y mi experiencia fundando empresas exitosas y organizaciones sin fines de lucro también me ha posicionado para ayudar a reconstruir nuestra economía y conectar a los residentes con los recursos. Estoy haciendo lo que siempre he hecho - poner a las personas en primer lugar. 

Durante mi período de mandato, protegí nuestra asociación con las escuelas de Santa Monica - financiando parques infantiles y salones de clases; protegí los programas y servicios de vivienda para adultos mayores; aumenté las viviendas; convertí el Big Blue Bus a cero emisiones y cero carbono; aumenté la resiliencia de nuestro suministro de agua; y abrí las calles a peatones y bicicletas, incluyendo carriles protegidos para las bicicletas en Broadway, rutas seguras a las escuelas y las comidas en las zonas de estacionamiento en Main Street. 

Este trabajo debe continuar. Seguiré siendo una voz fuerte para los derechos de los inquilinos, los vecindarios a escala humana, la sotenibilidad medioambiental, la reinvención de la seguridad pública y la justicia social y económica. 

Me respaldan: El Senador Estatal Ben Allen, el Miembro de la Asamblea Richard Bloom y el Vicepresidente de la Junta Escolar Laurie Lieberman. 

Como padre, propietario de una casa y residente desde hace mucho tiempo, me sería un honor contar también con su voto.
