Get StartedThe City Council needs to make public safety a priority. When elected, John will act immediately to restore full funding for public safety so West Hollywood has enough sheriff’s deputies to provide the community with protection. John will also implement measures to bring more security technology to West Hollywood and improve communication and coordination among those responsible for keeping us safe. The safety of residents and visitors to West Hollywood needs to be our number one priority. Learn more
Homelessness is a state-wide problem. The City cannot solve the problem on its own, but the City must do its fair share to get people off the street and into the services they need. While the City has taken many laudable steps, the City’s current efforts to address the homelessness problem are falling short. We need to continue funding outreach workers, shelter beds and services for people suffering from drug and alcohol addiction, but we also need to hold people accountable who engage in criminal conduct in the City. In addition, the City needs to support state legislation which will provide city officials with ways to require individuals who are homeless to move into places where they can get needed mental health and substance abuse services.
