Bubba Fish has built his campaign on a record of public service and community action. He currently serves as a transportation deputy for the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, working to make streets safer, and expand access to transportation.

The candidate has made housing a top priority, pledging to address Culver City’s housing and homelessness crises if elected to the City Council. As an advocate and volunteer, he served for several years as Vice Chair of Culver City’s Housing & Homelessness Advisory Committee, helped conduct the city’s annual homeless count for three years, and actively supported the creation of several projects that provide homes for previously unhoused families.

Fish also co-created and organized Culver City’s first and only official Pride celebration–Culver City Pride Ride & Rally, now an annual event in its fourth year and still the largest Pride Ride in the region. He would be the youngest person serving on the Culver City Council, and only the second openly LGBTQ+ person elected to the Council in the city’s 100+ year history.

Graduating from UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs in June 2024, Fish earned a Master’s in Public Policy with a concentration in Housing, Transportation, and Urban Policy.

Bubba’s campaign has raised an impressive $95,000 from over 900 individual donations, averaging less than $100 each, swearing off contributions from fossil fuel, police, and real estate development companies or organizations. Special interest PACs have responded by spending over $200,000 to defeat him in this election.

Ballots for the election have already been mailed to voters. Culver City residents have until Tuesday, November 5, 2024 to vote.
