Jesse, who is a first-generation LGBTQ+ citizen, is also interested in protecting undocumented individuals and empowering LGBTQ+ youth of color in his community.

Jesse's past volunteer work with the LA Food Bank and the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count have equipped him with the skills to connect unhoused individuals with the resources they need. Additionally, his volunteer experience with a local ballot measure aimed at incentivizing trash pick-up services has made him passionate about cleaning up the streets in his neighborhood. Jesse has been an active advocate for queer individuals and people of color in marches and rallies throughout the city, and he is committed to fostering a sense of community in his neighborhood.

If elected, Jesse aims to use his platform as a Neighborhood Council member to bridge the gap between residents, law enforcement, social services, and the issue of crime in his community. He believes that by working collaboratively, they can create safer and more vibrant streets for everyone. Jesse's commitment to empowering underrepresented communities in Los Angeles and his passion for community engagement make him an excellent candidate for the Neighborhood Development Council in the Southeast Area of LA.
