Profile: Yasmine-Imani McMorrin’s Campaign for Re-Election to the Culver City Council
As an African American woman, Yasmine-Imani McMorrin knows the importance of a person feeling they matter to a community. McMorrin enters the Culver City Council race as one of two incumbents and is looking to continue history as the first African American woman to serve on the council. Serving as the Director of Education Equity for Children's Defense Fund California by day, she believes that balancing the needs of all residents through data — not just the loudest or most affluent — is the key to a more equitable and better city.
Profile: Bubba Fish’s Campaign for Culver City Council
Bubba Fish can sympathize with those who can’t afford to live in Culver City. The Los Angeles County transportation deputy and his husband moved to Palms at the edge of Culver City because he wanted to enjoy the latter, but couldn’t afford to move to the city itself. Fish was able to move inside the city’s borders in 2017, but decided to run for Culver City Council to help those living in the shoes he once wore.

When Measure H was passed by L.A. County voters in 2017, it promised to provide funding to stem the increase in homelessness and keep residents housed for 10 years. The County boasts that the Measure has sheltered more than 137,000 residents, housed nearly 99,000, and prevented homelessness for another 28,000. Nevertheless, emergency rooms still say they are overwhelmed, and more than 75,000 county residents on any given night find themselves wandering, or sleeping on the street, in tents, in encampments, or even in their vehicles.
