I am running for City Council to protect what makes Beverly Hills exceptional while preparing our city for the challenges ahead. I am a product of Beverly Hills. As a renter, local attorney, former BHPD Cadet, and former White House intern, I have experienced this community from many perspectives and believe our city government must focus on public safety, supporting our businesses, and putting the resident experience first. Beverly Hills must remain one of the safest cities in the world. With major developments approaching, including the arrival of the Metro D Line station, our city will face new challenges. We must proactively support and fund the BHPD and BHFD, while supporting our school families through programs that commit to protecting the future of our community. Second, we must revitalize our business district. Too many storefronts that once housed thriving restaurants and retailers now sit vacant. We must create exciting initiatives focused on our commercial streets through events and promotions that bring residents and tourists back to our local businesses. Finally, we must improve community life by addressing increasing traffic anxiety, excessive vehicle exhaust noise in the Golden Triangle, and installing neighborhood programs that foster unity and encourage kindness.
