Dear Friends,
Forty years ago I swore to dedicate my life—even sacrifice it—to protect and defend our community. I rose through the ranks of the LAPD to become Chief where I implemented the toughest police reforms in history. Under my leadership, homicides and robberies fell by 45%. I saw gangs destroy neighborhoods and families. I learned we couldn’t make our streets safe unless we stop kids from joining gangs. As Councilmember, I have fought for more gang prevention, intervention, job training and afterschool programs. I implemented the Prevention Intervention and Education program and created the outh Jobs and Career Fair. Unfortunately, crime and unemployment are up, traffic is gridlocked, gas prices are out-of-control and people are working harder and earning less—still unable to afford healthcare.
We need change, now.
I’m running for Supervisor because we need bold leadership to turn LA County around. A fighter who will open more health clinics and trauma centers—not close down the ones we have.
Please join Supervisor Yvonne B. Burke, Supervisor Gloria Molina, Magic Johnson, Sheriff Lee Baca, Richard Riordan, Herb Wesson, Janice Hahn, Bill Rosendahl andhundreds of community leaders who have endorsed my candidacy.
Together, we can build a future worthy of our children’s dreams.
