Three pillars

H · A · T — built from the ground up

Each pillar carries four specific initiatives. Select "Show initiatives" on any pillar to see the full detail.

The H.A.T. Agenda · Pillar H

Honest Protection for Seniors, Families & Neighborhoods

Fighting the fraud epidemic hitting our seniors hardest. California lost $1.4 billion to elder fraud in 2025 alone — up 68% from the year before, and the worst total of any state in the country.

$200M

AARP's BankSafe-trained tellers have helped stop an estimated $200 million in attempted financial exploitation nationally — with trained staff intervening roughly 12× more often than untrained staff.

The H.A.T. Agenda · Pillar A

Action on Affordability

Closing loopholes, cutting hidden costs, restoring assistance. Roughly two-thirds of District 1 households rent, and the average District 1 household earns about $46,400 a year — every dollar of hidden cost matters.

$500K

Proposed affordability pilot: a Utility Gap Fund ($175K), Housing Stability Fund ($125K), tenant & legal navigation services ($85K), outreach and enrollment ($45K), and enforcement/data tracking ($45K) — every dollar itemized and reported quarterly.

The H.A.T. Agenda · Pillar T

Transparency & Accountable City Hall

Open books, plain language, real oversight. Residents shouldn't need a law degree to understand how the city spends their money. Accountability starts with information residents can actually use.

The stakes

Why this matters in District 1 right now

The numbers behind the platform — cited statistics, not talking points.

3.7% / 8.7%

Annual rent increase allowance

For buildings with 5+ units versus 4 or fewer — a loophole that leaves tenants in smaller buildings exposed.

~2/3

District 1 households are renters

Living side by side with longtime homeowner families — stability matters for everyone.

"This is not homeowners versus renters. District 1 succeeds when our neighborhoods are stable for everyone."
