Happy Holidays Long Beach!

After a relaxing Thanksgiving Holiday, there is no better way to kick off the season than Long Beach’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Last year we couldn’t come together for this annual tradition, making it even sweeter this year.

Thank you to the team over at the Long Beach Convention Center for always throwing the best party in town.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

Today, the D9 team went by the Long Beach Veteran

Today, the D9 team went by the Long Beach Veteran Mural and saw Art Mortimer working on the addition of Val Lerch. I’m proud to have commissioned this well deserved update in partnership with our Long Beach Veteran’s Day Parade Committee.

Art let us know that the portrait should be finished by the end of today while he continues to update the rest of the mural.

When you get a moment, stop by and check it out (corner of Atlantic and Harding).

Your 9th District team gave thanks to their community this morning by providing fresh food to local families.

We helped deliver fresh fruit and produce that will feed hundreds across our community through our ongoing partnership with the Long Beach Center for Economic Inclusion.

It’s always great to work together to make a difference in our community.

Today, I was proud to attend the Local Hearts Foun

Today, I was proud to attend the Local Hearts Foundation’s annual “Diamonds & Turkeys” at the Homeland Cultural Center in Central Long Beach. 1000’s of free turkeys were given away, along with 10 pallets of canned goods, 8 pallets of Proctor & Gamble, and Diamond Supply clothing.

This is an annual event made possible through grassroots organizing and local sponsors. It is always amazing to see the community come together for a great cause, especially in such challenging times.

Special shout-out to my council colleague @suelysarolb, @thehoodsanta, and the community for helping organize. #longbeachstrong
