Editor:

After much consideration, I have decided to suspend my campaign for Santa Monica City Council.

To work as a firefighter in this town is a great honor and a privilege; I will continue to dedicate my time to assist the community with issues I am passionate about, such as workforce housing, homelessness, and protecting the unique charm and history of Santa Monica.

There is a great group of incumbents with a longstanding track record of sacrifice and public service. I look forward to following their example by serving the city that has given me so much.
