Reelection in 2030
I’m singularly focused on solving homelessness in Santa Monica. I am Dick Lucas.
Join me.
I am not a candidate or a politician. I am a concerned citizen focused on getting the right people elected and the wrong people OUT.
Solving homelessness means making Santa Monica livable for the 90,000 residents who live here. It means our parks and our beaches are clear of tents, suitcases, and people sleeping, passed out, or high out of their minds. It means we feel safe walking with our families at night.

Santa Monica is its own city.
We are not part of Los Angeles. Santa Monica has its own City Council, its own police department, its own budget, and its own laws. What happens on our streets is decided by seven people we elect, right here. We control our own destiny.

We have two allies on city council, Lana and Ashley. We need a majority to solve the problem. Four more seats are up next election, we need two more allies to win so we can get a majority. In the meantime I will work to make every single council member an ally.

Who I am
You may have seen me at City Council meetings, or my videos and posts doing homeless counts that have gone viral.
I have a young daughter, and my wife and I are married to this city. We aren't leaving. We're raising a SaMo girl.
So you see, I have no choice but to fight and make it great.
