"We need a new kind of leadership, free from the tired establishment and the billionaire class, Huang said in her launch video. Mayor Bass failed to deliver the housing you need and wasted taxpayer dollars with little to show for it. The launch video zeroed in on a particular sore point of commercial real estate, showing the bankruptcy, abandoned and graffiti-scarred towers of the Oceanwide Plaza across the the Los Angeles Convention Center as a knock on Bass's effectiveness."
"Huang currently works as deputy director of Housing Now! California, a Los Angeles organization that calls itself a movement pushing for affordable housing. The group is aligned with over 150 other organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, multiple local DSA chapters, the Los Angeles Tenants Union, Eviction Defense Network and other groups. It's early for Huang's campaign and money raised has not yet been reported to the city's Ethics Committee, according to a check of records Tuesday."
Rae Chen Huang launched a campaign for Los Angeles mayor emphasizing affordable housing, free transit, renewable energy transition, and expanded mental-health services for public safety. She is a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, an ordained Presbyterian minister, and deputy director of Housing Now! California. The campaign launch video criticized Mayor Bass for failing to deliver housing and highlighted the stalled Oceanwide Plaza development as an example of wasted taxpayer dollars. Housing Now! is aligned with more than 150 organizations including the ACLU of Southern California, local DSA chapters, the Los Angeles Tenants Union, and Eviction Defense Network.
