2025 LFNC candidate statement
My name is Olsen Ebright, and in April of last year, I was appointed to a vacant seat on the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council. It’s been an honor to serve the residents of Los Feliz – the best neighborhood in Los Angeles – and now I’m running for re-election, humbly asking for your vote.
In my short time on the council, I co-authored efforts to ban RV parking on residential streets; supported a fix to the LA tee time scandal; helped parse the results of our neighborhood recreation survey; and have repeatedly voted in favor of free speech and investing in our community, including yes votes on every single beautification and community event that’s come before our board.
I sit on four LFNC committees: public health and safety, recreation, housing, and outreach. I volunteer at most LFNC events and am a regular with the Los Feliz Trash Busters, our neighborhood cleanup group. I’m an advocate for affordable housing, safer streets and supporting our local businesses.
As a renter with my wife Mallory and our dog Bixby, I have lived at Franklin and Berendo since 2012. I love this neighborhood. I love the park, and all our great shops and restaurants. I love that I can take the subway with relative ease, and I love that, as a community, Los Feliz is full of warmth and charm. It’s been an honor serving on this board, and if you entrust me with a full term, I will continue listening to your needs and helping improve Los Feliz. Also, be sure to follow my dog on Instagram at @bixbyknowles. He’s a good boy.

Lowering costs, especially housing
Everything is too expensive, especially housing. We must lower costs, and I will work to help make that happen. By expanding new home construction, increasing density along transit corridors, rethinking zoning and parking requirement, and simplifying our permitting processes, we can lower housing costs and reduce homelessness. By investing in clean energy, we can lower folks’ utility bills and fuel costs. By expanding public transportation and infrastructure, we can lower commuting costs. We can’t afford not to act.
Protecting our institutions
Our public institutions are being defunded and dismantled, including schools, libraries, Veterans Affairs, and the United States Postal Service, which has an absolute treasure of a post office located right here in District B. These organizations and the dedicated public servants who keep them running are vital to Los Feliz, and I will work to support them.
Making your voice heard at City Hall
You deserve a government that works on your behalf, and I’m eager, willing and able to dedicate long hours to help support LFNC and make sure your voice is heard at City Hall. I’m here to listen to all members of our community, help build consensus and take action. I’m open about my voting record and will do my best to always explain my positions. Let’s do this together.
Building community
The pandemic pushed us away from each other and our phones have, sadly, become too good at holding our attention. That’s why I’m working to help build community and bring neighbors together. From Porchfest to our holiday market and tree lighting to the Disney Bros. Cartoon Studio Square Dedication block party, I have consistently voted to support community events and will continue that work if elected to a full term.
Olsen Ebright cleans up this town
Twice a month, I join the Los Feliz Trash Busters to do some good in the neighborhood (check out our 2024 sizzle reel here). It’s fantastic group of folks, and we always need more volunteers. You can find our upcoming cleanups here. This is your chance to help keep Los Feliz looking sharp and it only takes an hour. Plus, we have free coffee and snacks.
