Michael Geraghty

For over 40 years, I’ve called the West Side of Los Angeles home. Like you, I’ve watched violent crime rise, classrooms struggle, homelessness grow, and the cost of government continue to climb.

We can do better.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a business builder, a family man, and a lifelong Angeleno who believes public service should be about solving problems. This campaign is about results — not party labels.

My focus is on restoring safety, strengthening families, and rebuilding trust in our state government through thoughtful, responsible leadership.

What is AD51?

California State Assembly District 51 (AD51) is one of 80 districts in the California State Assembly.

Each district represents roughly 500,000 residents — about the same population as the entire state of Wyoming.

Assembly District 51 includes the cities and communities of Beverly Hills, East Hollywood, Hollywood,Hollywood Hills West, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, West Los Angeles, and Westwood Village, meaning decisions made in Sacramento directly impact hundreds of thousands of local families.

The State Assembly plays a major role in shaping policies affecting:

  • Public Safety

  • Education

  • Housing

  • Taxes and Cost of Living

  • Infrastructure

  • Jobs and Economic Opportunity

The 7 Issues Facing Los Angeles

Neighborhood Safety

Violent crime has risen across AD51 cities while the national rate has remained stable. Sacramento policies are making it harder for local governments to protect single-family neighborhoods and enforce the law effectively. We must restore accountability, support law enforcement, and protect the quality of life in our communities.

Education Reform

California ranks near the bottom in national proficiency scores despite ranking near the top in income and taxes. Our children deserve classrooms focused on academics — not activism. We must restore curriculum standards, mandate accountability, and prioritize math, science, and literacy.

Homelessness

California has one of the highest per capita homeless populations in the nation. Billions have been spent with little measurable success. Compassion without accountability has failed. We must fund treatment, job training, and housing — with strict performance requirements.

Affordability

Housing, gas, utilities, and food costs continue to rise. Government-induced regulations and taxation have made California one of the least affordable states in the nation. We must reduce regulatory burdens, control spending, and lower the tax load on working families.

Jobs & Opportunity

California ranks last in U-Haul migration trends as companies relocate to business-friendly states. As employers leave, the tax burden grows on those who remain. We must reverse hostile regulatory policies and create an environment that attracts investment and job growth.

Parental Rights

Recent legislation allows life-altering medical decisions involving minors without parental consent. Parents must retain authority over the health and upbringing of their children. We must restore transparency, consent protections, and remove ideological activism from schools.

Women’s Rights

Biological males competing in women’s sports undermines decades of progress toward fairness and equal opportunity. Women deserve privacy, safety, and competitive integrity. We must restore protections in athletics, scholarships, and women-only spaces.

Improve Leadership in Los Angeles

Los Angeles deserves leadership focused on results, accountability, and real solutions.

Michael Geraghty is running for California State Assembly District 51 to address the issues that affect families every day — public safety, education, affordability, homelessness, and economic opportunity.

For over 40 years living in the Westside of Los Angeles, Michael has watched violent crime increase, classrooms decline, and the cost of living rise faster than families can keep up.

This campaign is focused on restoring safety, strengthening families, and rebuilding trust in state government through thoughtful, responsible leadership.

Policy Should Be Measured by Results

Across the country, different states have taken different approaches to public policy.

Some are improving safety, education, and economic opportunity faster than others.

Understanding what works — and what doesn't — is critical if we want to improve life in Los Angeles.To change and reuse text themes, go to Site Styles.
