Candidate Statement in English

My name is Danny Ivanov and I am running for the Rent Control Board to protect tenants during these uncertain times and to serve as a bulwark against any effort to undermine rent control in Santa Monica. 

I am an attorney and renter living in a rent control unit. Without rent control, seniors on fixed incomes, middle class folks, and those striving to break into the middle class would be priced out of our City. As someone who would not be able to call our community home without rent control, I understand the critical importance of these issues firsthand. As an employment attorney with a diverse background including litigation, advice & counsel, and negotiations, I have the experience and skillset necessary to address the complex issues facing the RCB.

Santa Monicans are already feeling the squeeze with rising prices on groceries, gas, and many other services due to inflation with no end in sight. The last thing our renters need at this time is an exorbitant rent increase without precedent as was proposed earlier this year. 

Renters in Santa Monica need a champion and I want to be that champion. 

I would be honored to earn your vote this November.

Declaración del candidato en Español

Mi nombre es Danny Ivanov y me estoy postulando para la Junta de Control de Alquileres para proteger a los inquilinos durante estos tiempos inciertos y para servir como un baluarte contra cualquier esfuerzo para socavar el control de alquileres en Santa Monica. 

Soy un abogado y un inquilino que vive en una unidad de control de alquiler. Sin un control de alquileres, las personas mayores con ingresos fijos, la gente de clase media y aquellos que están luchando para entrar dentro de la clase media serían excluidos de nuestra ciudad por los precios. Como alguien que no podría llamar a nuestra comunidad hogar sin el control de alquileres, comprendo de primera mano la importancia crítica de estos asuntos. Como abogado laboral con diversos antecedentes, incluyendo litigio, consejería y asesoría y negociaciones, tengo la experiencia y el conjunto de habilidades necesarias para tratar los complejos asuntos que enfrenta la RCB (Junta de Control de Alquileres). 

Los habitantes de Santa Monica ya están sintiendo la presión con el aumento de los precios de los alimentos, la gasolina y muchos otros servicios debido a la inflación sin final a la vista. Lo último que nuestros inquilinos necesitan en este momento es un aumento exorbitante del alquiler sin precedentes, como se propuso a principios de este año. 

Los inquilinos en Santa Monica necesitan un defensor y yo quiero ser ese defensor. 

Estaría honrado de ganar su voto este noviembre.
