After the fires, Nithya Raman literally voted against my proposal to hire 227 more firefighters and slow-walked permit fee relief for 10 months. I have been the one in the community — streamlining permitting, cutting red tape, and holding insurance companies and banks accountable. Now over 500 homes are under construction and another 1,200 permits have been issued.

The SOHA mayoral debate between Mayor Karen Bass and CM Nithya Raman got real contentious from the start. Here's a clip of Raman responding to Bass going after her for also being in charge of what's been happening in the city as a member of the council.

We are in a global battle for entertainment jobs, and we must hold nothing back in our fight. This is about an industry that is essential to our middle class and who we are as a city. I cannot support a deal that results in massive job losses. I urge federal regulators to enforce job protections and creative freedom during the approval process, and I call on Paramount’s leadership to redouble its commitment to the industry workers in our city.

We’re not waiting for the red tape to clear. We’re clearing it ourselves. By partnering with two innovative companies, we’ve cut permitting times from months to just hours—at no cost to homeowners, city, or the state. This is a game-changer.
