This week, I took my Oath of Office for my third and final term as Fifth District Supervisor.

I was so grateful to be sworn in by former District Attorney Jackie Lacey with family, friends, team members, and community leaders by my side and in the crowd.

I enter these next four years with deep gratitude for the trust you’ve placed in me, appreciation for the community partners who continue to serve alongside me, and hope for what we will accomplish together.

I look forward to the work we have in the years ahead. I will continue to focus on advancing public safety, implementing long-lasting homelessness solutions, evolving the county’s mental health infrastructure and service delivery systems and supporting initiatives that improve the local economy and quality of life for residents.

In all of these efforts, I know that leading with integrity, transparency and collaboration is key. My team and I will continue to prioritize opportunities to truly listen to constituents’ perspectives and voices.

Together, we can build a Los Angeles County that we’re proud of, standing as a beacon of hope, resilience and community.
