In December Karla Griego joined the @LASchools Board of Education. It's been a busy 7 months as she deals with a tight budget, threats out of Washington and more. My @TheEastsiderLA story. https://t.co/yn1yZMnqd1

On the same night Karla Griego was elected to the @LASchools Board of Education last November, Donald Trump returned to the White House—an outcome that quickly reshaped her focus. I spoke with Griego, who reps District 5, for @TheEastsiderLA. https://t.co/yn1yZMnqd1

In 2022, a total of 29,808 District 1 residents cast a vote for city council--there were 2 candidates. The 2026 election, with at least four people challenging incumbent @EunissesH, is a year from today. A look ahead for @TheEastsiderLA. https://t.co/oNHpkUjkKm

The primary election for Mayor of Los Angeles is exactly 1 year away. Will @RickCarusoLA challenge @KarenBassLA? Will another sitting politician jump in? Oh, the places this could go! My @WestsideCurrent column. https://t.co/W01eXLCweN

It's exactly 1 year until the California primary, and 4 people have filed papers to challenge @EunissesH for the District 1 City Council seat. For @TheEastsiderLA, I took an early look at the important race. https://t.co/oNHpkUjkKm

It is exactly one year until the California primary, which means it's one year until Angelenos decide if @KarenBassLA gets another term as @MayorOfLA. For the @WestsideCurrent I looked at a potentially amazing election with some high-profile challengers. https://t.co/W01eXLCweN

I don’t know any #journalist who has ever willingly published #fakenews, but I know many good reporters who have made mistakes and gotten things wrong. The question is, how do you respond when you screw up? My first-person piece for @UCLABlueprint. https://t.co/zvBa7F1phz

Highland Park and Eagle Rock top the list of Eastside neighborhoods that see the most ADUs. Still, the San Fernando Valley gets more ADUs than any other part of Los Angeles. My @TheEastsiderLA story. https://t.co/K0ugbrGpV8

Can the city and @MayorOfLA avoid laying off 1,647 employees amid the $1 billion budget shortfall? The answer likely depends on if they can get concessions from unions, where big raises are locked it. More in my @WestsideCurrent piece. https://t.co/snAqoT6UXh

The clearest sign that budget matters are reaching the crisis point comes when politicians start frequently referencing “our partners in labor.” It’s the political equivalent of a magician’s “Abracadabra.” My @WestsideCurrent piece on LA's budget hole. https://t.co/snAqoT6UXh

Amidst the housing crisis, Angelenos are increasingly converting garages into apartments and building small residences in their backyards. For @TheEastsiderLA I looked at #ADU permits in the area--there were 638 issued last year. https://t.co/K0ugbrGpV8

LA is facing a $1 billion budget shortfall and threats of 1,647 layoffs. While every department GM can present compelling reasons to protect their stake, a lot cannot be saved. Yes, you too will feel the pain. My new @WestsideCurrent piece. https://t.co/snAqoT6UXh

For @TheEastsiderLA I wrote about the number of ADUs springing up. You may have seem them in Highland Park and Eagle Rock. https://t.co/K0ugbrGpV8

For @WestsideCurrent I looked at council rep @adrin_nazarian, who won the @CD2LosAngeles post in November, following a decade in the State Assembly. He clearly already knows not only how to play the game, but when to play it. https://t.co/17KoT8kZll

“I think more elected officials probably need to have gone through a staffing background because it grounds you, and it makes you humble,” said @CD2LosAngeles council rep @adrin_nazarian. More on Nazarian in my @WestsideCurrent piece. https://t.co/17KoT8kZll
