Campaign Kickoff

Hi Friends and Neighbors,


You may have heard the news already but it’s official - I am running for LA City Council - the largest in the country. I hope you’ll join me as we kick off this campaign — because the truth is, City Hall has stopped working for too many of us, and it’s time we do something about it.

City Hall insiders have prioritized the wealthiest parts of the city while ignoring working families, renters, and the neighborhoods where basic services are falling apart. Streets go unpaved, trash piles up, crime increases, and homelessness grows — all while our leaders act like everything’s fine - it’s not! Every part of this district deserves investment, attention, and respect — not just the ones with political connections or deep pockets while the rest of us are ignored.

I had no plans to run for office. But as a husband, a father, and someone who’s spent years working in the education and nonprofit sector, I decided it was time that someone did something about it. I want my kids — and yours — to grow up in a city that’s safe, clean, affordable, and fair. 

I need your help to build a neighborhood coalition that can stand up to the establishment and make sure our voices are heard. Please consider sending us financial support - whether it’s $28 or $1000 (the maximum contribution), your contribution will go directly toward reaching voters, building momentum, and creating real impactful change for everyone in our community. This is the hardest part of running - getting resources, but I hope you can become a founding donor to help do this for all of us. 

- Jon, your friend and neighbor
