The  endorsements listed above are the only offices and issues I considered.
Offices and issues not listed constitute a non-endorsement.
My personal endorsement does not represent an endorsement  from any organization.


  Here are the facts:
Measure S will cost LA's economy nearly $2 billion a year 
Measure S will cut over 12,000 good jobs and $640 million in wages every year
Measure S will ban 90% of planned opportunity sites for new homeless and
 affordable housing in LA 
Measure S will cost taxpayers $70 million a year that could be better used for 
schools, parks, libraries, and more
The Measure S "2-year" housing ban could last up to 10 years, possibly longer 

The Measure S campaign wants this to be a referendum on City Hall corruption - but it is actually a housing ban in a reformer's disguise.

If contacted by the Measure S campaign or one of their representatives comes to your door and says it does something good for affordable housing, ask "how?" You'll get a different non-answer every time. 

Measure S proponents have no explanation for the supposed benefits - because their points are not true. 

Measure S is OPPOSED by the LA Times, Mayor Garcetti, and the largest coalition in LA history opposing a ballot issue.
