Mayor Karen Bass has pledged to reduce.A few days later, on Feb. 1, came the exit of the agency’s data chief, Emily Vaughn Henry.

Data management will temporarily be overseen by Bevin Kuhn, a senior advisor for IT and data, while the agency looks for a permanent replacement, the statement added. “The intention of this audit is to provide a clear and accurate picture of the financial health and practices of LAHSA to best inform incoming financial leadership and staff,” the motion states.

Peréz counters that she’s voted to fully fund the city’s police department, and has advocated for a program in which law enforcement works with mental health clinicians and social workers to help unhoused people. “You don't want to spend several hours reading through people's websites,” Peréz said. “You want to make that decision as easy as possible.”A random sampling of five voters across the district found that four of them recognized Yiu from ads but none of the other candidates.
“Advertising could inform swing voters and new voters who don't necessarily have really solidified views,” in contrast to highly tpartisan, motivated voters, Masuoka said. “It's been kind of fun watching squabble among themselves and I just stay on course and speak my message,” said Ahlers.

For example, most of the service members in the Los Angeles County city of Maywood were high school seniors or in their early college years, and one was a college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in political science.

“The only way we're ever going to fight off privatization, build the schools our students deserve, is if we…address these harmful ideologies within our movement and outside in the world, and work together in solidarity with one another,” Day said.
