We have led a grassroots campaign because we want to bring change to our city and THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO.

We can have the city that we know we all deserve.

Los Angeles is where I was born and raised. Los Angeles is the city that I love.

Over these last 3 and 1/2 years we have laid a foundation and we're going to build on that foundation because we know what a city we have and what a city we can be.

>> I'm an Angelino who said enough is enough and I had to step up. I didn't know I'd be here tonight, but it's obviously God's plan and I'm going to go all the way and I'm going to show everybody that I'm their mayor and I just believe there's a lot of Los Angeles that is so excited to hear.

It's refreshing a non-politician. My opponents where is very clear are all pathological liars.

They lie on all their statistics. They lie on the reality of the city.

I will be taking on my opponents with facts and the truth and the voters are going to see the truth.

I don't need to convince liars to stop lying.
