A native CD4 resident, former Director of Special Projects for Councilman Tom LaBonge (2011-2013), small business owner of 20 years, philanthropist for high risk youth with Children's Hospital LA and county foster care agencies, community leader as HOA President for Lake Hollywood for 5 years and currently Outreach Chair for Hollywood United Neighborhood Council.
"I love this City that I was born, raised and educated in. I began my life in community service as a junior at Immaculate Heart High School interning for Councilmember Peggy Stevenson. I attended UCLA as a Chancellor’s Scholar, graduating with degrees in Economics, Psychology, and a Masters in Business Administration. In my business career I have built a national, award winning transportation planning and marketing firm, created the TransitVoucher program, attracted over 300 businesses to offer child care to their employees, and currently preside over a Southern California based real estate asset management firm. I have a passion for solving problems as a taxpayer advocate, using my background in business, and urban economics. I will serve with a focus on action, not words."
"Balancing the budget will be my number one priority through changes to taxes, policy and employee compensation to ensure this City is well maintained and poised for growth. To find out more about my platform, please visit www.sheilairani.com."
