Let's be real — Rick Caruso would have some serious conflicts of interest in the mayor’s office.

The city government makes decisions that directly impact real estate across Los Angeles. And as a real estate mogul, Rick Caruso has a lot at stake: residential developments, a beach resort in Montecito, retail centers, and a high-rise… just to name a few.

The last thing our city needs is a billionaire real estate mogul in the mayor's office. That's why we’re working to raise $40,000 toward our TV Ad Fund by Saturday at midnight to help reach Angelenos with Karen's message. Will you chip in $5 to help us meet our goal? With only two months left until Election Day, every dollar will help fuel Karen's campaign to victory.

America is no stranger to inexperienced business moguls turned politicians — *cough* Trump *cough*. If he wins in November, Caruso promises to put his assets into a "blind trust," a.k.a giving his company’s current chief development officer total control. That’s a bit too close for comfort, team.

It’s wildly unethical, but we can stop it before it becomes a real problem. Please chip in $5, or whatever you can, to help Karen get her ads on the air and reach Angelenos in these final weeks.

Glad to have you on our team.
