Erlinda Lim

Erlinda Lim Sorati, At-Large Candidate for the Rampart VillageNeighborhood Council (RVNC). I am not a woman of too much elaboration but moving in a positive direction using teamwork with my neighbors is why I am interested in joining the RampartVillage Neighborhood Council.

When you tell me that you’re in need off this and tired of that, I am here to listen. My concern and habit is being with the people and learning different points of view of how our community is getting along.

Without the fellowship of our neighbors, the people are isolated, not energized and lonely. Many people are puzzled about how things work in the Neighborhood Council: I will try my best to help my neighbors to understand what’s going on and how things get done in this process. We can build a prosperous RVNC community and a better quality of life for all of us.

I have served two years as President of the Rampart VillageNeighborhood Council and would like the opportunity to continue the work of making the RVNC a better more transparent neighborhood council. The council has come a long way in the past two years but there is still much to do, I need your support and vote to make our community as effective and efficient as other neighborhood councils in our fair city.

I will continue to advocate for Intra-Neighborhood Council cooperation and stronger alliances between the RVNC, GEPENC, SLNC, EHNC, MPNC, WNNC, WCKNC and other neighboring councils so we are all better places to live work and play in LA.
