Candidate Statement in English

I’m Lana Negrete. I’m a native, SAMO alum, renter, small business owner and mother. I have a bachelor’s degree in business management, a non-profit Outreach Through the Arts which provides music education to underserved youth and I run my family local business. I have served the community in many capacities such as PTA, public safety commission, elected Board Member for the National Association for Music Merchants, and advocate in D.C. for increased public school funding and most recently city council. Like many residents, my concerns for public safety, economic recovery, and the diverse homelessness crisis have become urgent. I’ve worked with stakeholders to address these issues with effective solutions. I’ve helped establish and maintain the Pier Task Force, created forums to promote dialogue between residents and officers and worked with neighboring jurisdictions to fight for increased access to substance abuse treatment and psychiatric beds. As a liaison between City Hall and Santa Monica’s small business community, I’ve worked to bolster economic recovery. I’m running to continue fighting for common sense solutions that strengthen our community. Santa Monica should be a safe affordable place to live and raise a family. If you agree, I humbly ask for your vote.

Declaración del candidato en Español

Soy Lana Negrete. Soy nativa, ex alumna de SAMO (Santa Monica), inquilina, propietaria de pequeña empresa y madre. Tengo un título de licenciada en administración de empresas, una organización sin fines de lucro Outreach Through the Arts, que proporciona educación musical a los jóvenes desfavorecidos y dirijo el negocio local de mi familia. He servido a la comunidad en muchas funciones, como la PTA (Asociación de Padres y Maestros), la comisión de seguridad pública, Miembro de la Junta electa de la Asociación Nacional de Comerciantes de Música y defensora en D.C. para el aumento del financiamiento de las escuelas públicas y más recientemente el concejo municipal. Al igual que muchos residentes, mis preocupaciones por la seguridad pública, la recuperación económica y la diversa crisis de la indigencia se han vuelto urgentes. He trabajado con las partes interesadas para abordar estos asuntos con soluciones eficaces. He ayudado a establecer y mantener el Grupo de Trabajo del Muelle, he creado foros para promover el diálogo entre los residentes y los funcionarios, y he colaborado con las jurisdicciones vecinas para luchar por un mayor acceso al tratamiento por abuso de sustancias y a las camas psiquiátricas. Como enlace entre el Ayuntamiento y la comunidad de pequeñas empresas de Santa Monica, he trabajado para impulsar la recuperación económica. Me estoy postulando para continuar luchando por soluciones de sentido común que fortalezcan nuestra comunidad. Santa Monica debe ser un lugar seguro y asequible para vivir y criar una familia. Si está de acuerdo, le pido humildemente su voto.
