As your next State Senator, I’ll bring the model climate programs I built in West Hollywood to the whole state - that means:
✅ Accelerating fire prevention
✅ Expanding urban tree canopies
✅ Protecting our coastline
✅ Creating green, living wage jobs.

California didn’t build the strongest climate policies in the nation by following. We built them by leading.
This Earth Day, I’m fighting to keep it that way - and take back what the Trump Administration is trying to tear down.
The April fundraising deadline is just hours away — and how we finish today sends an important message of the support behind our vision for a new era of courageous leadership in SD24.

LA showed up today for #NoKings.
We showed up to demand no more ICE terrorizing our communities. No reckless wars. No cuts to Medicaid, education, or housing.
We showed up to defend reproductive freedom, the rights of our LGBTQ+ community, and our democracy.
A unanimous decision by Metro Los Angeles today to FINALLY bring rail to #WeHo! Thank you to the thousands of people that showed up and spoke in support! 🚂
Yes!
@johnericksonwh.bsky.social (CA YIMBY, AHLA, and Streets for All endorsed candidate for SD-24) is hosting a social at Artesia Bar in North Redondo this week! Learn about his campaign and how he will be a champion for the South Bay on housing, transit, mobility, equality, and more.
WeHo Councilmember Erickson basically says film industry shouldn't call the shots on the color/safety/visibility of green bike lanes. Says city should paint brighter, and plenty of WeHo filming will continue.

“Across our state, commonsense projects that would make communities safer, greener, and more livable are caught in an endless tangle of redundant approvals, over-engineered reviews, and bureaucratic inertia.”
