Meet Dylan Kendall at LACC Swap Meet This Sunday (11 AM–1 PM) — Join the $5 x 100 Challenge
Dec
Council District 13 deserves leadership that shows up, listens, and takes responsibility for what’s happening on our streets.
This Sunday, we’re hosting a meet-and-greet at LACC Swap Meet with Dylan Kendall, a candidate for Los Angeles City Council District 13. If you’re tired of being ignored, tired of the excuses, and tired of watching our neighborhoods decline under Hugo Soto-Martinez, this is your moment to show up and help change the direction of CD-13.
Event Details (Bring your questions)
- What: Meet &Greet with Dylan Kendall (CD-13 Candidate)
- Where: LACC Swap Meet
- When: Sunday, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
- Who’s invited: Our vendors, shoppers, residents, and local small businesses
The $5 x 100 Challenge:
100 People. $5 Each. Let’s Go.
We’re asking the community to help us hit a simple goal:
Goal: 100 people
Minimum: $5 each
Why: Because campaigns don’t run on “likes.” They run on support.
If you can do more than $5, great. But the point is participation. When 100 people step up, it sends a message that can’t be ignored: CD-13 is paying attention now.
Why We’re Doing This (And Why We’re Saying His Name)
Let’s be very clear: Hugo Soto-Martinez has failed CD-13 — and the damage is real. Under Hugo’s watch, the city has allowed illegal street vending to explode around our community spaces, with little to no meaningful enforcement or accountability. That failure doesn’t just create inconvenience — it creates consequences.
The impact is hitting families, businesses, and students
- Before Hugo, the swap meet paid out more than $500,000 per year to the Foundation.
- Revenue is down over 80% as illegal street vendors sell on school property surrounding the swap meet.
- That revenue supported a Foundation serving over 17,000 students — students who are now being harmed by the city’s lack of responsibility.
- Residents aren’t renewing leases.
- Local businesses are suffering.
- Our swap meet vendors are suffering.
We’ve begun the process of a $30M lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles
We’ve begun the process of a $30M lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.
Because the city has refused to take responsibility, we have begun the process of a $30 million lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.
- We were required to send a formal letter notifying the City of our intent to sue.
- On December 26, our court documents are being filed as an official lawsuit.
This is what happens when leadership chooses politics over public responsibility.
Who Is Dylan Kendall?
Small business owner. Foster mom. Renter. Nonprofit founder. Decades in the district.
Her focus is quality of life and practical results — cleaner streets, stronger small businesses, and housing that fits our neighborhoods.
“Improving quality of life starts with rebuilding our small business economy, keeping our parks and public spaces safe and clean… and celebrating the art, music, cultural diversity, and creativity that defines Council District 13.”
What We Want in CD-13 Leadership
(No More Excuses)
We need a councilmember who:
- Respects the laws and enforces them fairly
- Protects public spaces so they’re clean, safe, and welcoming
- Supports permitted vendors and legitimate local commerce
- Shows up when residents and businesses raise concerns
- Stops rewarding disorder while punishing the people doing it right
That’s the standard. That’s not “too much to ask.” That’s the job.
Vote Hugo Out. Support Dylan Kendall.
If you want CD-13 to improve, it’s going to take more than frustration — it’s going to take action.
- Come meet Dylan Kendall this Sunday.
- Join the $5 x 100 Challenge and donate what you can.
- Tell your neighbors: it’s time to vote Hugo Soto-Martinez out.
Sunday, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at LACC Swap Meet.
Coming Soon: No Go Hugo
We’ll also be launching the No Go Hugo website soon, with details on how Hugo Soto-Martinez has abused his office and how his failures have contributed to the decline impacting our community and the students who depended on swap meet revenue.
We’re done with excuses. We’re done with decline. Vote Hugo out.
