Believe it or not Election Season 2024 is already upon us. Los Angeles has a primary coming on March 1st with some major elections and issues at stake. To discuss, I am joined by:

Councilwoman Traci Park - to discuss her successes and challenges, and ballot measure HLA which threatens to exacerbate the city's budget crisis.

Sam Yebri - a local political leader and founder of "Thrive LA" a political action committee to represent the interests of moderate voters. Sam and I break down the races from city council to district attorney and more.

Christy Vega - Christy's family has owned LA landmark restaurant Casa Vega for 68 years. She heads numerous small business and restauranteur advocacy groups, and joins us to discuss how LA political dysfunction is impairing the local business environment and making it nearly impossible for small businesses like hers to survive.
