"West Hollywood deserves leaders who are ready to meet this moment with vision, integrity, and a deep commitment to our community. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Helen Krieger for City Council.
Helen understands that protecting what makes West Hollywood special means tackling our biggest challenges head-on - from expanding affordable housing and improving transportation to creating safer streets and strengthening our creative economy. I’m confident she’ll deliver real results for the people of West Hollywood."
Councilmember Bryan “Bubba” Fish, Culver City Vice Mayor
"When you find a leader who’s qualified, compassionate, and cannot be bought, someone who’s working their tail off to make positive change, when you find Helen, you don’t sit on the sidelines. You show up, you donate, you knock doors and you have their back."
John D'Amico, Former West Hollywood Mayor and City Councilmember
"I met with Helen, and she really impressed me by how carefully she listened, and I thought, this is the person I want to believe in for the city where I’m going to retire, and she’s going to invent a world that none of us have even ever thought about. So if you’re one of those people who’s looking for how the world will be? Helen’s your candidate. And I guarantee she will listen to you."
Rena Goldman, West Hollywood Rent Stabilization Commission
"I'm excited to endorse Helen Krieger for West Hollywood City Council because she's passionate about this city and wants to see it thrive. We are in an affordability crisis, and we need leaders who have solutions for people who live here now and those who will live here 20+ years from now. I'm also a mom and a walker/transit rider. Our streets are dangerous for bikers and pedestrians, and they shouldn't be. Helen wants to make streets safer for all modes of transportation and to make sidewalks accessible to everyone. We desperately need these improvements."
Brandon Blau, West Hollywood Public Safety Commission
"I'm proud to endorse Helen Krieger because of the energy and vigor that she's bringing to this race. I think her perspective and POV will be a great addition to our City Council."
Angela de Silva, Vice Chair of the West Hollywood Women's Advisory Board
"What I love most about Helen is that she listens and has compassion for all perspectives of a given situation. She isn’t just solution oriented, but community oriented as a whole, where every voice is important and heard."
Bill Harrison, West Hollywood Public Safety Commission
What sets Helen apart is her openness to listening, collaborating, and building consensus across our community. She understands that meaningful progress comes from bringing people together - not dividing them - and she approaches every issue with thoughtfulness and respect for diverse perspectives.
Helen is deeply committed to progressive change, but what makes her leadership especially compelling is that her ideas are grounded in her own careful study and understanding of the issues facing our city, including affordability and public safety. She doesn’t rely on talking points shaped by special interests - instead, she puts in the work to develop solutions that truly reflect the needs and values of ALL West Hollywood residents.
Helen is exactly the kind of leader we need to help guide our city toward a more inclusive, thoughtful, and positive future.
