(2/2) In the Palisades and Altadena, cleanup efforts already underway are too slow. At the current pace, it could take over a year just to clear debris, leaving families in limbo. Some homeowners are even paying private contractors out of pocket to dig through toxic ash and recover valuables. That’s unacceptable. We need an organized, fast-moving strategy that only the private sector can deliver. Scammers, unlicensed contractors, and predatory landlords are circling vulnerable families, taking advantage of the chaos. Homeowners need a trusted, centralized hub to connect them with reputable builders, navigate the insurance nightmare, and access financing options. Government can’t move fast enough to provide this level of coordination—but the private sector can.

That’s just to start. We need to make sure there is an insurance system in place so people can afford to live in these communities. We cannot let opportunistic investors or other political forces push policies that ruin the character of these great communities. Possibly most importantly, we must ensure this never happens again. Cities around the world have already adopted smarter land management, zoning reforms, and fire prevention technology. LA is behind. We can’t wait for another disaster to act. That’s why Steadfast LA isn’t just rebuilding—we’re future-proofing.

This is why Steadfast LA exists. We’re here to bypass red tape, drive real solutions, and act with the urgency this moment demands. We will work with government when possible, but we will not wait for them. This is about getting results now—not years from now. LA doesn’t have time for slow-moving government bureaucracy. So we’re taking action. Join us today at steadfastla.com.

Anyone surprised that we have yet another politician bashing the hard working men and women of law enforcement?

Allow us to introduce Alderman Henry Heck who spread out right lies about the brave Rutland (VT) police officers and even went as far as to violate the conditions of their contract negotiations.

Alderman Heck has no business being in a position of power and is a disgrace to their Board.

If Heck had a shred of integrity, which history shows he doesn’t, he would resign his position and immediately terminate his mayoral campaign.

California is removing red tape and suspending regulatory barriers to fast-track cleanup efforts and help Los Angeles quickly recover and rebuild.

I’m committed to assisting the Los Angeles community recover from these fires, not hindering their efforts.
