Oscar de la Torre
Councilman, City of Santa Monica
In 2020, I ran for Santa Monica City Council because Santa Monica City Hall had mismanaged our City resulting in the erosion of public safety, hurting local businesses, homeowners and renters alike! Since then I have worked to fix those problems by: hiring more police officers, contracting private security for the 3rd Street Promenade, strengthening services to transition mentally ill/unhoused individuals off our streets. In the 2020 election, voters in Santa Monica made history by electing a City Council that prioritizes the needs of residents, not special interests. In this upcoming election we have an opportunity to continue the movement for a safer and cleaner Santa Monica.
