I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles.
To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues. For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them.
If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.
Hollywood’s favorite story: the broke outsider who self-financed an $80k movie on credit cards.
The receipts: a ~$1M elite education, $330k+ in grants on her prior film, and a father - a Chinese real-estate and equity investor - credited as an executive producer.

my anecdotal impression that every single progressive millennial in la waited to drop their ballot until this past weekend (and hadn’t gotten a text saying their ballot was accepted as of well after election day) has been validated
Luis Buñuel, once said,
“Nothing would disgust me more, morally, than to receive an Oscar. Nothing in the world would make me go accept it. I wouldn’t have it in my home.”
A few years later Buñuel, in disguise, wearing a wig & sunglass while holding the Oscar he won for "The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie" (1972). Though he didn't attend the ceremony in person.
