Lee Goldin
for Mayor of
Long Beach
End Homelessness in Long Beach Now
Why I'm Running
I’m not a politician, but I’m trying to get on the ballot in next year’s Mayoral Race in Long Beach so I can put one phrase, one demand, one call to action on my candidate statement:
END HOMELESSNESS
I’ve pleaded with the city to solve this humanitarian crisis. I’ve talked to my city council member, I even spoke to mayor Rex Richardson himself. He said his office provides the tools to deal with these issues and it’s up to us to use them. The mayor asked me, asked US to do his job. At first I was shocked, then I was mad, then I thought “challenge accepted.”
I don’t want to run for mayor, I just want to take my wife and kids for a walk tonight, but I can’t. Because it’s not safe. It’s not safe for those of us lucky enough to have a bed tonight, and it’s not safe for those suffering on the streets.
If you’d like to help me get on the ballot for the mayoral race in Long Beach, join me.
What I believe
The most fundamental human right is dignity. When we leave our fellow citizens unfed and unhoused, we strip them of their dignity. Our country has the means and the money to restore dignity to us all. We have enough land to house us all, we have enough food and material to feed and clothe us all. The fact that our politicians and business leaders refuse to do so, points to their incompetence and moral bankruptcy. It’s up to us voters to hold these people accountable and elect people who actually care.
We can solve these problems tomorrow. It will be joyous. We will build, we will sing and we will celebrate.
How We're Going to Do It
We have a bold strategy to end the perpetual drain of our city's wealth and foster a deeply invested local community. We are implementing smart fiscal policy to secure a greater, fair share of revenue from non-resident passive business interests, not through antagonism, but by rebalancing the civic equation. This revenue is then directly recycled into powerful incentives—down-payment subsidies and affordable housing—to encourage our dedicated police and municipal employees to buy and invest here, thereby retaining hundreds of millions in wages that will now fuel our local economy. The final, transformative step is the strategic shift of stabilized public safety funds toward an innovative Public Works construction team—mandated to train and hire our unhoused neighbors—allowing us to build the very homes that ensure local staff are housed while creating dignified, skilled jobs and a tangible path off the streets, ultimately proving that by investing in the people who serve and live here, we build a safer, wealthier, and more equitable Long Beach for everyone.
