Reverend Rae Huang is running for mayor of Los Angeles to bring the moral imagination, grassroots experience, and coalition-building power our city needs. Her vision for this city is simple: a Los Angeles built on justice, belonging, and love in action. As mayor, Rae will strengthen and expand community-driven solutions to make our city more affordable, sustainable, and safe for every neighbor.
A seasoned community organizer and ordained Presbyterian minister, Rae has spent two decades bringing people together across faiths, neighborhoods, and movements to fight for dignity, fairness, and a city where everyone has a place to call home. As Deputy Director at Housing NOW! California, Rae directed statewide campaigns to make housing affordable and end the displacement of working-class communities of color. She led efforts behind major legislative and budget wins, like expanding tenant protections under SB 567, and supporting the passage and implementation of California’s groundbreaking social housing study bill, SB 555. She has been an organizer with Clergy for Black Lives and the People’s Budget LA, fought for economic justice alongside hotel and service workers at Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE), and initiated the launch of the Healthy LA Coalition, which won critical pandemic relief for families who otherwise would have been left behind. Rae also played a critical role in organizing fire recovery efforts in Los Angeles.
Rae believes the best way to defend democracy is to prove that it can work for everyone. This campaign is accountable to the people and won’t take money from lobbyists, corporate interests, or the fossil fuel industry. With your support, we’re going to take on the billionaire class and win!
Small dollar donations from Los Angeles residents get matched six to one. This means if you donate $50, the city contributes $300, and the total becomes $350. The city will match all donations up to $257 this way. Even setting up a small monthly donation of $5 or $10 can go a very long way to powering our grassroots campaign.
