Melynda Choothesa

With two years already as HC Resident Seat on DTLA Neighborhood Council, I believe I should be re-elected as your representative. My unique perspective, appreciation for the community & dedication to outreach to all members of our area, I am ready to continue my work on area beautification, uniting small business owners & resident outreach. Being in DTLA for 15+ years, I have a deep understanding of the issues that most affect our city. As a resident and small business owner, as well as the daughter of an immigrant mother (who suffers from mental illness and was unhoused), I have empathy balanced by rational voting. It's taken a couple of years to learn things this past term & this term around, as your representative, I will continue my outreach to residents & small biz owners to help the community. Through mywork experience, expertise & commitment to public service, I hope to leverage my connections & relationships to help green spaces & give a voice to my neighbors.

I am passionate about the vitality and vibrancy of our city and am committed to working with other elected officials and community leaders to ensure that our district is a safe, healthy, and prosperous place for all. I have a deep knowledge and understanding of the issues facing our community, from homelessness & affordable housing, to public safety and transportation, as well as protecting our environment and preserving and creating affordable spaces for arts and culture. I believe strongly in active engagement between elected officials and the people we serve, which is why I pledge to be an accessible leader who will always listen to your ideas and feedback. I am committed to reaching out and connecting with neighborhood organizations and connecting to them on relevant projects and initiatives. It would be an honor to represent you on the Neighborhood Council. Lead with Love!
