Meet Brian Carroll
As the world gets more complex, the importance of local community could not be more clear. Being born in California, raised back-and-forth between Connecticut and Florida by divorced parents, and searching for that sense of belonging from town to town and year to year, Brian would find it in the San Fernando Valley, where he lives with his wife, Stephanie, and their two cats.

Housing: Tackling the homelessness crisis and protecting tenants.
Climate: Building a sustainable economy through the Green New Deal.
Education: Standing with our public school teachers.
Workers: Protecting unions and fighting against the exploitation of labor.
