ALT I have made the difficult decision not to run for Mayor of Los Angeles. My family has experienced the unimaginable loss of our beloved daughter Emily. She was a magical person, the light of our lives. We are still in mourning. A successful campaign, and more importantly the job of Mayor, requires someone who is committed 24/7 to the job. Family has always come first for me. That is where I need to be at this time. Los Angeles is a special place, but every day it’s becoming less affordable, less safe and a more difficult place to live. To solve these problems, new ideas are needed along with leadership capable of implementing them. I’m grateful for the many people from all walks of life who saw this in me and supported our campaign. In time, I hope to continue my efforts to make sure Los Angeles’ best days are ahead of us. We ask you to respect our privacy and keep us in your prayers. Thank you Austin
