As we head into the final hours before Election Day, I want to thank you for being part of our team and humbly ask for your vote to continue serving in the 13th District on the Los Angeles City Council.

Over the last several months, I have gone door-to-door, participated in living room discussions with your neighbors, and have visited with large and small groups of people in all types of settings. I have…

I wanted to share some milestones in our march toward establishing guidelines for the first-ever comprehensive affordable housing policy in the City of Los Angeles. I have been aggressively pursuing a value capture policy in particular. In September, I introduced a motion that would require developers to build low-income units or pay into the city's Affordable Housing Trust Fund in exchange for zoning changes, variances or other exceptions that increase the value of the project. The motion…

Join CD13 Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell's team, Silver Lake Improvement Assn and Wood Handcrafted Pizza on Sunset at Silver Lake Blvd. for a morning of neighborhood clean up and a genuine Italian reward.

Together. You, me, and our neighbors across District 13.

We stood up against special interests and their Super PAC money. We showed that integrity and decency can beat the establishment and their negative campaigning.

I'm so proud to be a resident of District 13 today. You keep hearing in the news how voters in L.A. aren't engaged—how they don't care.

Well, our District…

This news comes from the O'Farrell campaign. Although we received a commitment of answers to questions from John Choi, the other candidate for City Council District 13, he has not responded to our contact via email and Facebook.

My son and others are literally fighting for political change elsewhere in the world. 

Locally, our confrontations take on a different flare. I saw a Greuel lawn sign spiked into the ground closely in front of a Garcetti placard. And Mitch O'Farrell signs have been stolen from my front lawn and others'.

An invitation I received from Luis Lopez and Hans Johnson for a fundraiser for Mitch includes a quote from the L. A. Times endorsement and, "A proud and well-qualified…
