Leigh Rosensteel-Patrick I would like to have a chance on your board so that I can help in getting this city back on track for everything that deals with our schools and public safety. I want for everyone to have a quality of life and this is why I want to run for a seat that deals with this items and parts.
Sandra Pruitt My name is Sandra Pruitt and I am the mother of 3. We have lived in the area of 4 yrs. In 2009 my 26 year old son, Jerell Green was murdered at the Louisiana Chicken restaurant on Arlington and Jefferson. Within in couple of months after that incident I started a block club, however the people who were interested were not necessarily from my block. I decided to call the club Jefferson Park United. We had a march and rally from Western and Jefferson to Leslie Shaw park. I later found out about UNNC and wanted to become apart of the council because they are concerned and have a voice in Jefferson Park. I love where I live and I want to be actively involved in my community.
Mark DeMan I have lived in the NC area since 1988,restoring my home and participate in the Harvard Heights Neighnborhood Assosiation and the Harvard Heights HPOZ. Currently I am involved in the Steering Committee for the Normandie/Cordova Pocket Park Project and am spearheading a grant proposal with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative to refurbish our street monument and landscape the SE corner parkway. Since my recent retirement from LAUSD I have had more time to spend on local community matters and would very muchg like to represent the community on the UNNC.

Charlzetta Driver A native of Los Angeles and Veteran of the U.S. Military, I believe individuals thrive in communities that nurture entire families. Community is wherever one receives education, health care & edification, spiritual growth, and recreation, equally. Committed to proactively assisting continued growth and unification through increasing safety, beautification, diverse services, and education is my goal; in turn, creating a future of dedicated property owners, residents, businesses, and workers possessing the same passion for our community. I bring a plethora of experience and talents. While in the U.S. Army, domestic and abroad, I gained the full understanding of civic duty and developed stronger pride and passion for community. My professional experience includes: Writer/Journalist, Real Estate, Retail Management, Corporate Training, Production Manager, and Emergency Medical Treatment. Mother, divorcee, and professional, I learned the value of family, community, and individual responsibility firsthand through trials and successes. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Elizabeth Fenner I’ve been a fan of the West Adams and surrounding areas for 10 years, and a resident for 3 years; I’ve lived all over Los Angeles from the Valley to the South Bay to the Fairfax district, and this is the best neighborhood I’ve lived in: situated right in the center with so much access, a rich history, diverse and community-minded neighbors, and pride. One of the best qualities of the neighborhood is people’s active commitment to fulfilling the potential of the area. We want it to be beautiful, safe, a place with business, good schools and community, with enjoyment and productivity for everyone. I would be honored to contribute to that effort as a member of the United Neighborhood Neighborhood Council.

Norman Gilmore I have been serving on the UNNC Board as a Jefferson Park Resident Representative since February 2009.I have worked to support revitalization and development that is compatible with our community, to protect historic resources, and to empower our community. I email updates about local events and issues to subscribers of the JeffersonParkUnited.org list. I have worked to inform Jefferson Park about our new HPOZ by posting relevant documents and maps at JeffersonParkUnited.org. Recently, I started an online petition supporting a Trader Joe’s at Crenshaw and Rodeo, and also helped to organize door-to-door canvassing. I have attended numerous city hearings to provide our neighborhood’s perspective on issues from alcohol permits to zoning issues. I also serve as Secretary of the UNNC Governing Board and I have reliably taken the meeting minutes for the monthly Governing Board meetings for the last 3 1/2 years. I appreciate your support.
Marilyn Romero I’ve resided in the West Adams for the past 18 years, and witnessed my first drive-by shooting when I was seven years old. I grew up in a neighborhood plagued by prostitution and gang violence. I know what its like to walk outside my home living in fear. I can only imagine the fear that consumed my mother as I walked to and from school every day. This is a fear I want to change for the people in my neighborhood. I hope to empower all of the members of my community, to fight and reclaim our streets. Given the opportunity to be a part of the UNNC governing board , I will be the voice of concern for our neighborhoods and work diligently with the municipal council to ensure that progress takes place. More importantly, I look forward to unifying my community and engaging them to take proactive roles.
