Bio

A seasoned community organizer and ordained Presbyterian minister, Reverend Rae Huang has spent two decades bringing people together across faiths, neighborhoods, and movements to fight for dignity, fairness, and a city where everyone has a place to call home. As Deputy Director at Housing NOW! California, Rae directed statewide campaigns to make housing affordable and end the displacement of working-class communities of color. She led efforts behind major legislative and budget wins, like expanding tenant protections under SB 567, and supporting the passage and implementation of California's groundbreaking social housing study bill, SB 555. She has been an organizer with Clergy for Black Lives and the People's Budget LA, fought for economic justice alongside hotel and service workers at Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE), and initiated the launch of the Healthy LA Coalition, which won critical pandemic relief for families who otherwise would have been left behind. Rae also played a critical role in organizing fire recovery efforts in Los Angeles. As mayor, Rae will strengthen and expand community-driven solutions to make our city more affordable, sustainable, and safe for every neighbor.
