Friends & Neighbors,

Welcome to the Campaign Website for

Joseph Lucey

Candidate for Los Angeles City Council – District 1

I look forward to earning your trust, respect, and vote as we work together to bring real change to Council District 1. I am a candidate with practical ideas and a commitment to improving our community in key areas:

My Priorities

• Homelessness: Tens of millions of dollars are being spent with little to no results. I have a new approach that brings dignity and compassion, reduces costs to taxpayers, addresses housing challenges, cleans our streets and freeways, and tackles crime at the same time.

• Job Growth and Opportunity: Expanding opportunities, especially for our youth.

• Gang Reduction: Continuing efforts to reduce gang activity and keep neighborhoods safe.

• Lower Taxes: Working to reduce the tax burden on residents.

• Affordable Housing: Supporting new and affordable housing within Los Angeles.

• Crime Reduction: Enforcing existing laws to keep communities safe.

• Support for First Responders: Standing with the brave men and women of the Los Angeles Police Department and Fire Department.

• Education Reform: Bringing a more responsible approach to education. Many professors have shared concerns that first-year college students are not fully prepared for basic college-level work—we must do better.

Community Safety

We need stronger communities by increasing the number of police officers and firefighters. Unlike Councilwoman Hernandez, I do not support defunding the police. Safe communities are a priority for all residents of Los Angeles.

Back in 2001, I helped introduce surveillance equipment to the LAPD, starting in MacArthur Park. A year later, the Los Angeles Times reported that crime in the area had been reduced by 51%. This is just one example of the creative solutions I bring—not only for District 1 but for the entire city.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."
— Muhammad Ali
