This has been a difficult year here in Los Angeles County—first the wildfires, then the invasion by ICE, and then the government shutdown that resulted in 1.5 million residents being cut off from food assistance.
With the holidays right around the corner, LA County is stepping up to help residents in need. Together with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, we have given free food to 5,000 families at grocery giveaway events in Pico Rivera and Wilmington, and we have two more giveaways coming up—one next week in Long Beach, and one on the 26th in Hawaiian Gardens.
It’s clear that so many people in our communities are hurting right now. I saw the need and my office moved quickly to get these events up and running, and the response has been incredible. If you know anyone who is struggling, please spread the word.
Los Angeles County is home to so many world-class arts and culture institutions—but too often these experiences can be hard to access for people who don't live near Downtown LA.
That's why I have partnered with the Los Angeles Philharmonic to bring the orchestra to the Downey Theatre on Dec. 4 at 7pm.
If you have ever been interested in attending one of their concerts, this will be a great opportunity to experience these incredible musicians live.
 For half a century, the men and women of the Lomita Sheriff's Station have protected and served our South Bay communities—and this week I joined their 50th anniversary celebration.
I want to do everything I can to support this station, and I know that accessing the bridle trails on the Peninsula has been a problem for many years. So my office is funding the purchase of an off-road vehicle, 2 ATVs, and an e-bike for this station.
To all of our deputies at the Lomita Station—thank you for your commitment to making our communities safer and stronger, and congratulations on 50 years!
 LA County is in the middle of a flood watch right now as this storm continues. There are increased risks for people who live in or near recent burn areas, but our Office of Emergency Management has given some guidance on precautions everyone in the county should take to stay safe:
- Make sure your tires, brakes, and windshield wipers are in good shape before getting on the road.
- Stay away from flood control debris basins, channels, facilities and river beds that are at risk of flooding.
- Keep at least 100 feet away from downed power lines and electrical wires. Call 911 to report downed lines.
