Lee Goldin
for Mayor of
Long Beach
The unhoused suffer in the streets.
ICE runs rampant.
Shadowy military contractors receive cozy tax deals.
We need a mayor who can stand up for the people and stand up against the powerful interests running our town towards ruin.
Why I'm Running
Our neighbors suffer in the streets, ICE runs rampant while outside business interests siphon wealth from our community. Our city is not run by our current mayor. It's run by those making billions using our port as their personal piggy bank. Our mayor rolled out the red carpet for Anduril systems, turning our town into a willing participant in the military industrial pipeline being used to terrorize the planet. We need someone who can stand up for the people of Long Beach and stand up against those who have taken advantage of our home for too long. It's time to fight back against the powerful so we can feed, house, heal and free those suffering on the streets from the humanitarian crisis of homelessness.
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.
I believe that war is wrong, and war profiteering stains the soul. We need a mayor who will fight against the encroachment of the military industrial complex in our city.
I believe that no one is illegal. We need a mayor who will stand up against ICE.​
What We Can Do Together
When I told my toddlers I was running for mayor, my son said "that's a big hill to climb." He was right. The incumbent has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and has the backing of powerful interests and institutions. So what can we accomplish in this race?
​
We can gather together and make ending homelessness the #1 issue in the 2026 Long Beach Mayoral Election. We can form a united voice to demand the mayor stand up against the war profiteers and hold accountable the ICE agents terrorizing our city. If our voice becomes loud enough we have a chance to bring a new type of politics to Long Beach City Hall and turn our town into the beacon of freedom and prosperity it deserves to be.
