In my 1 year on the council I got stop signs installed at dangerous Erwin/Ventura Cyn, lights along the perimeter of Erwin Elem School, and had a fence put up around the school parking lot to stop illicit activity that was going on.

I am a stay at home dad with a 4 year old and I work from home for a low vision technology company.

I am passionate about education, my wife is a teacher. I am legally blind and am a strong advocate for the disabled. I have a good relationship with our senior lead officer and city councilman.

I am a retired LAUSD school teacher. I have lived in Valley Glen at the same address for 45 years. I became a member of the valley Glen Neighborhood about 2016 helping deliver the valley Glen Voice neighborhood newsletter. In 2017 I joined the VGNA board. In 2019 I became the Leader of the VGNA Clean Team that holds a clean-up of the neighborhood on the 3rd Saturday on each month, and was appointed as a liaison between the VGNA and the council and was accepted on the Greater Valley Glen Neighborhood Council. I enjoy working on the council and hope we can make some real progress together.

I have been a resident of Laurelgrove Park neighborhood since 2008. What I enjoy most about our neighborhood is the recreational use of the large park and pocket park. I’m a dog mom and enjoy spending free time with my dogs and many neighbors in our park for exercise and socializing. I am an active volunteer on our NC Board because of my concern for the many safety issues occurring in Laurelgrove within the most recent few years, and so have chosen to be a part of the Public Safety, Health, and Homelessness Committee. Volunteering for a meaningful cause is important to me, and previous organizations that I have devoted my time and efforts to include non-profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and local and national dog rescue organizations. I have volunteered and held committee positions in multiple private sector non profit organizations advancing the study, education, and appreciation of Earth Sciences related to Geology, Mineralogy, and Fossils. The health of our neighborhoods and environment is very important to me.

Concerned about the city’s trees, in 2016 Joanne D’Antonio created the Trees Committee of the Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance, and in 2018 represented neighborhood councils on the Dudek Working Group that took the first step toward developing an Urban Forestry Management Plan for Los Angeles. She was appointed by our Council Office in 2019 to the citywide Community Forest Advisory Committee representing Council District 2. She advocated for our City Street Tree Inventory that sent an arborist to identify every street and park tree: https://losangelesca.treekeepersoftware.com/ She continues to work to elevate tree practices and promotes the planting of native trees. In our local area she has made efforts to improve the Victory and Whitsett medians.

I have lived in Valley Glen since 2006. I am on the GVGC because I am interested in serving my community. I currently serve our community on the Van Nuys Community Police Advisory Board and sit on the Greater Valley Glen Neighborhood Council. I believe more than ever is the time our community needs more citizen involvement. I am looking forward to continuing to serve our Valley Glen community.

My name is Daniel Lopez and I am a long term resident and stakeholder in Valley Glen – I live right across the street from Burbank Blvd Elementary! We have so many issues facing our communities and regions – increased homelessness, public safety concerns, skyrocketing housing prices and a woeful transportation network for the Valley and our region. I hope to work on these issues and so many other issues with the NC Board. As a LA native and a renter in this increasingly unaffordable city, I hope to play a active role on making my community better instead sitting on the sidelines – I am looking forward to getting in the arena and getting my hands dirty.
