West Hollywood
is home.
Tanya grew up in and around West Hollywood, came out at fourteen, and found freedom in the city’s LGBTQ+ community and nightlife.
She is a first-generation American whose parents came to Los Angeles from the Soviet Union as Jewish refugees.
Today, Tanya leads development and operations at ThinkAgain, serves as a senior advisor to the Combat Antisemitism Movement, and hosts the Highlyjewish Podcast.
She is running to make West Hollywood safer, strengthen the businesses that give it life, and bring accessible, practical leadership to City Hall.
Read Tanya’s story ↗Three priorities.
One working city.
Safer Streets
Work with LASD and community stakeholders to address open-air drug use, street violence, and daily quality-of-life concerns—without trading away a strong sheriff presence.
Explore safer streets ↗Stronger Businesses
Cut unnecessary regulatory barriers, shorten permit delays, and make City Hall a consistent partner to the bars, restaurants, boutiques, and venues that give WeHo its energy.
Explore stronger businesses ↗City Hall Accountability
Make City Hall answer residents, listen to business owners, shorten permit delays, and keep local decisions connected to the people who live and work here.
Explore accountable City Hall ↗Community petition / SB 79
Add your
voice.
SB 79 sets state zoning minimums near qualifying transit stops. A Transit-Oriented Development Alternative Plan would let West Hollywood propose how the same required housing capacity is distributed across affected transit areas, subject to state review.
Tell Tanya where you stand, what a local plan should protect, and why this issue matters to you.
