Detailed Policies
Jordan Rivers' Plan for District 15
Blue New Deal
Clean Air & Accountability
Monitor pollution, act fast,
protect communities.
Recommit the City of Los Angeles to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Jordan would advocate for the Port of Los Angeles to host a UN-based sustainability hub that monitors port emissions and Los Angeles River runoff.
This center would provide real-time environmental data to both the city and residents so communities are informed first, and Los Angeles can respond immediately to environmental harm and mismanagement.
Port for Peace
Aid Before Trade
No aid, no trade—human rights come first.
Jordan will advocate for the Port of Los Angeles to reevaluate and remove partnerships that contribute to human rights violations. He believes it is unacceptable that a site tied to historical injustice is now connected to ongoing harm. His position is clear: if humanitarian aid is not reaching affected communities without conflict, then trade should not continue.
Indigenous Rights & Land Restoration
Restore land, repair harm, respect history.
Jordan supports rezoning the Phillips 66 refinery site from industrial use to historic preservation, fully decontaminating the land, and returning it to the Tongva people.
He believes Los Angeles has a responsibility to correct past injustices, especially when land was taken without representation or consent. He opposes redevelopment that prioritizes profit over people and believes housing solutions must focus on affordability for existing residents.
Housing, Safety
& Social Services
Safe Housing & Strong Community Support
Fund services, not just enforcement.
Jordan’s approach to homelessness is rooted in investment in social services, not overreliance on law enforcement.
He supports auditing agencies to ensure accountability and equitable distribution of resources across Los Angeles. He also proposes a stronger 311 system so residents can report concerns and connect individuals to housing, mental health support, and emergency services.
Jordan opposes “special enforcement zones,” calling them ineffective and dehumanizing. Instead, he proposes “Safe Shelter Zones” that connect individuals directly to services and support systems.
Transportation & Accessibility
No Fare, No Wait
Free, reliable transit for everyone.
Jordan believes public transportation should be treated as a basic public service. Just like libraries are funded by taxpayers and free to access, transportation should be accessible to everyone without financial barriers.
He supports expanding rail connections between San Pedro, Wilmington, and the greater Los Angeles transit system to ensure District 15 is fully connected—especially ahead of the Olympics.
Infrastructure investment should prioritize everyday needs, not just large-scale events.
