Inglewood’s elections are just over two months away — and we want to put the issues you care about at the center of the conversation. 

Please take a few minutes to fill out the  Inglewood Voter Survey below and tell us what you’re thinking ahead of the Nov. 3  election on issues ranging from the impact of the upcoming Olympics to food security. Your answers will help direct our reporters’ coverage of the election and Inglewood as a whole.

Inglewood released an official list of candidates and issues that will be on the Inglewood ballot this November. 

The list includes 18 candidates who have qualified to run for mayor, two City Council seats or three spots on the Inglewood Unified School District Board of Education, according to the Inglewood City Clerk’s office.

There’s also a trio of ballot measures that cover stadium taxes and billboards as well as up to $400 million in school district bonds. 

My background: I spent my early years in downtown Los Angeles and lived the last decade between Pico Union and University Park. Before journalism, I spent stints as an after-school tutor and a housing social worker. I’ve covered immigration, religion, housing, local government and a little bit of everything else for outlets in Los Angeles and beyond.

What I do: I keep an eye on local institutions — like city governments, police departments and school boards — and an ear to the ground for the good, the bad and the weird things going on in South LA and Inglewood. I tell you what I find out on our website, in our newsletter and on social media.

Why LA?: This place is home. I love the people, the cultures, the hills and the Pacific Ocean.
