District 1
Evelyn Zneimer
Evelyn Zneimer is the incumbent in D1 and current mayor. Her answers demonstrated deep experience with city governance and getting things done.

We endorsed this candidate in collaboration with South Pas Active Streets.
South Pasadena

Jerry McNerney served in Congress for 16 years, prior to that, he worked as a clean energy engineer. During his time in Congress, he served as a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and helped kickstart the ValleyLink commuter rail system.

Measure G
Measure G (LA County) is a comprehensive governance and ethics reform package for Los Angeles County. It would create an independent ethics commission, require County departments to hold public budget hearings and increase representation and improve public process on the Board of Supervisors by increasing the number of seats from five to nine.
Measure K
Measure K (Santa Monica) would enhance public safety, create safe routes to school to protect children, lower the risk of fatal traffic accidents, and maintain other essential city services, by increasing the City of Santa Monica Parking Facility Tax by 8% for users including visitors and tourists. City-owned lots and structures (including downtown and the beach) would be exempt from this tax.
Measure PSK
Measure PSK (Santa Monica) is a ballot measure that would only go into effect if Measure K is also enacted. It would take at least half of the additional revenue raised for street safety projects that reduce accidents and divert it to the police and other departments to be spent on public safety departments. We believe that the Council should decide where it’s most appropriate to spend the revenue once it comes in, rather than pre-allocating it. This revenue could be used to promote safety proactively through infrastructure improvements resulting in fewer crashes, thus ultimately freeing up public safety time and resources.
Measure A
Measure A would provide the county with about $1 billion annually to spend on public infrastructure by repealing an existing quarter-cent sales tax and replacing it with a half-cent sales tax. Money raised would go toward combating the homeless crisis by providing shelters, housing and other services.
Prop 5
Prop 5 would allow local bonds for affordable housing and public infrastructure with 55% voter approval. It will make it easier to upgrade California’s critical public infrastructure, and create more housing for low- and middle-income residents.
We endorsed the following for the 2024 primaries:
Ballot Measure
Healthy Streets LA (HLA)
We’re endorsing Measure HLA - and we’re not the only ones. This ballot measure has been endorsed by the LAUSD, LA Times, the Los Angeles Democratic Party, and more.

At a time when traffic fatalities are at a record high, Measure HLA makes sure that the city finishes its own plan for thousands of miles of safer streets in LA.
