L.A. Can Turn Around Its Homeless Crisis: TV Writer and Advocate Hayes Davenport Breaks Down How Voters Can Help
TV writer and advocate Hayes Davenport reveals how voters concerned about L.A.'s homeless population can help during the election.
When she announced her intention to run for the council seat in 2019, Davenport quit his job co-showrunning the comedy series “Chad” with star Nasim Pedrad to focus on the campaign. “When Nithya said she had decided to run for the seat, knowing the outsized importance that the city council has in L.A., in particular to the issues we were dealing with and homelessness, I just thought it was an opportunity I couldn’t miss,” he says.
