We were elected to represent workers, families, and vulnerable tenants making minimum wage -- not corporate landlords who have been profiting off our city for far too long.
Keeping people out of homelessness isn't controversial. It's the least we can do.
@JasonMcGahan at @LAmag threatened to publish baseless claims about me. He sent this same message to other people. He’s got nothing. It wasn’t me and I don’t know who did it. What in the fan fiction is this? I think he was bad at the game of Clue as a kid.
