YJ DRAIMAN -INDEPENDENT Mayoral CANDIDATE

Los Angeles – 2013

Mission Statement

Sustainability – We must strive to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We should discourage wastefulness and misuse, and promote efficiency and conservation.
I, YJ Draiman am an Independent candidate pursuing Councilman Greg Smith’s 12th District position in Los Angeles, California.

I am an Energy/Utility analyst. I am a successful utility auditor/ consultant - businessman. I am an advocate for reducing waste in government and I am committed to listen to my constituents so we can define, legislate and execute attainable solution.
While renovating buildings in the late 70’s I discovered the art of energy efficiency, methods of conserving water and reducing costs of telecommunication. In the 80’s I entered the deregulated utilities business, marketing Natural Gas, Electricity & Telecommunication, and performed utility bill audits. All in all, I have in excess of 25 years experience in the renewable energy industry.

I have been actively involved in various efforts to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy and am a strong proponent of renewable energy sources. I believe that our energy independence and reduction in the use of Fossil Fuels is crucial to our growth.

I am an animal and outdoor lover. I enjoy boating, diving, hiking and flying. I believe in the preservation of nature, parks and playgrounds for future generations.

I decided it is time a qualified citizen should run for office, one with varied business & life experience that can relate to the people’s concerns and life struggle, one who has no political allegiance to anyone, one whose only allegiance is to the voters, one whose concern is for the well being of the community and not the special interests groups. I started my candidacy during a meeting at the NC when they suggested I become a candidate.

I have important reasons for caring what happens in Los Angeles – my family and friends.

Our economic strain and the lack of jobs have prompted me to try and do something. Government spending is running rampant, efficiency is non-existent, waste is the rule of the day and bureaucracy is hampering business. We must address these concerns today to protect the future of our children and grandchildren.

Government fiscal discipline is a must. We must make Los Angeles business friendly and look for ways to address the housing crises.

Improving our education system and public transportation will improve the quality of life in Los Angeles

I want future generations to enjoy the freedom our country was based on. Keep our jobs at home and increase productivity and job security.

Don’t tell me what someone did in the past; tell me what we can do for our residents/stakeholders presently and from now on.

I need your help!
