We hosted our second tenant rights workshop with @ars_socialservices! Community members had the opportunity to ask questions, connect with experts, and learn more about their rights.

We're excited to keep bringing resources like this to neighborhoods across the district and proud to work with partners who help make that possible.

I created Operation Bright S.P.O.T (OBS) to help beautify our commercial corridors, support small businesses, and tackle blight quickly! Recently, OBS removed overgrown weeds/vegetation in Sylmar beautifying our community.

Have a commercial corridor in CD 7 that needs attention? Call my district offices: Pacoima at (818) 485-0600, Sylmar at (818) 756-8409, or Sunland-Tujunga at (818) 352-3287. Let’s keep our neighborhoods looking great!

Today during Council , I was proud to recognize the extraordinary bravery and teamwork of our first responders during the devastating March 20th Pacoima explosion. Their swift action, skill, and compassion saved lives, human and animal alike, and protected an entire neighborhood from further tragedy. Thank you to every agency and partner who worked through the night to keep our community safe.

We delivered some BIG news to our students at Sylmar Charter High School and San Fernando High School last week! For the first time ever, our students will face off at the iconic LA Memorial Coliseum! 🏟️ A game on this grand stage is a moment they’ll never forget and we’re proud to make it happen.

Mark your calendars, on October 17th the Spartans will take on the Tigers! Ticket information coming soon and best of all, proceeds from the game will be split between both schools to support their programs. 🙌🏽

I was proud to serve as the keynote speaker at last weekend’s Memorial Day Peace Walk, joining over 700 peace volunteers, veterans, and community partners from across Los Angeles — including CD7.
We came together to honor our fallen heroes, uplift the veterans in our community, and recognize the organizations working tirelessly to promote peace, unity, and healing.

Thank you to our partners at @ymcala, @hwpl iwpg_la, and @ipyg_official for making this event so meaningful for everyone involved.

In a budget that makes devastating cuts to public safety, I fought to secure $376,000 to send our firefighters to critical paramedic training. This is a necessary win, but make no mistake, our public safety services will feel the impact of this budget. Lives depend on these resources, and I’ll continue fighting to protect them.

Yesterday, the Council voted on the City’s budget — and I voted no.

This budget cuts resources for our first responders, rolls back investments for our youth, seniors, and small businesses, and fails to fix our broken homelessness response.

Public safety and community services should never be an afterthought. While the budget passed, it heads back for a final vote next week. I’ll keep fighting for a budget that truly puts our neighborhoods first.

I was proud to secure funding for the LA Parks Needs Assessment. This is an important citywide study that will help highlight where the need is greatest and what resources we need to improve the quality of our parks—and I’ll continue to fight for our communities to get their fair share of high-quality parks and open space.

Join me on Tuesday, June 3 from 6 to 8 PM at Lake View Terrace Recreation Center for a community meeting about the future of our parks. Your input on the LA Parks Needs Assessment will guide decisions that impact our parks and recreational spaces for generations to come. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to be part of the process!

Yesterday, I officially welcomed LAFD’s first-ever Wildland Hand Crews — a historic step I fought hard to make possible to create defensible space in many of our hillside communities. These crews are a critical new addition to our Los Angeles Fire Department as we’ve continued to see the ongoing impact of wildfires critical to protect our hillside communities that have endured devastating fires like Sayre, La Tuna, Creek, and Saddle Ridge.

These wildland firefighters are beginning an intensive 5-week training program and will become a vital force in our wildfire prevention and response strategy — creating defensible space and safeguarding neighborhoods in our high fire severity zones.
I’ll continue fighting to deliver the highest level of fire safety for our communities. Stay tuned — we’re just getting started.

Illegal dumping negatively impacts our neighborhoods and the environment. A huge thanks to @lacitysan for their help to remove trash and debris from two locations in Pacoima.

It takes all of us working together to ensure our community receives the services it deserves. Please remember to report neighborhood blight by using 3-1-1 and by contacting my offices: Pacoima office at (818) 485-0600, Sylmar office at (818) 756-8409, or the Sunland-Tujunga office at (818) 352-3287.
