BOMA/GLA PAC Interviews Beverly Hills and Glendale Candidates

Local elections shape the policies that directly impact commercial real estate, from public safety and homelessness to taxes, permitting, and economic competitiveness.

That’s why our Political Action Committee (PAC) is meeting directly with Beverly Hills and Glendale City Council candidates to ensure the voices of commercial property owners, managers, and service providers are part of the conversation.

What You Need to Know

Our PAC is conducting candidate interviews with individuals running for Beverly Hills and Glendale City Council as part of our organization’s ongoing local advocacy efforts.

These interviews give candidates the opportunity to hear directly from commercial real estate leaders about the issues impacting office buildings, mixed-use properties, retail corridors, and investment across the region.

Topics expected to be discussed include:

• Public safety and homelessness in commercial districts
• Business competitiveness and economic growth
• Local taxes and cost pressures impacting property operations
• Permitting timelines and development predictability
• Infrastructure, transportation, and long-term planning
• The role commercial real estate plays in supporting local economies

Candidates are also being asked how they plan to work with the business community and support policies that encourage investment, job creation, and vibrant commercial corridors.

Our PAC interviews are an important part of our organization’s advocacy process and help inform future engagement and support decisions.

How It Impacts You

Decisions made by local city councils have a direct impact on how commercial properties operate, compete, and grow.

In cities like Beverly Hills and Glendale, issues such as permitting efficiency, public safety resources, homelessness response, infrastructure investment, and local tax policy can significantly affect property values, tenant attraction, operating costs, and long-term investment decisions.

These interviews are also an opportunity to educate candidates on the operational realities facing property owners and managers today and reinforce the importance of practical, business-minded leadership at the local level.
