He’s brought innovative solutions to help address homelessness, such as cabin communities, which have helped get hundreds of people off the streets and into care.

In September, when leaders of the Los Angeles Police Protective League said they were supporting me, we believed that was their endorsement in addition to the maximum allowable contribution LAPPL made to my campaign. On May 19, we learned that I misunderstood, and that the contribution was given without endorsement. And because we were under the impression that both were given already, we did not request a formal endorsement interview in December and missed the window to go through their process. While we appreciate the support and maximum contribution, we now know that it does not represent a formal endorsement and have removed LAPPL from our endorsement list. I value the relationship I have with LAPPL and continue to support our LAPD officers and divisions as I always have.
