and I ended up being her district director and running her LA offices and then through that met great people and community leaders and when she ran for governor and lost, Jim Hahn was a city attorney and he offered me a position in his staff and also to help him prepare for running for mayor in 2001 which we all worked on and helped him get elected and somehow he decided I'd be a good deputy mayor and so I was a deputy mayor for Jim Hahn for all four years of his term and that really got me involved in City Hall and I've been bouncing around since.

I worked for his sister Janice as her chief of staff.

and Councilman Joe Buscaino is his chief of staff.

I became a deputy mayor for the second time, working for Eric Garcetti.
