WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA — Today, August 4, 2025, Congresswoman Laura Friedman (CA-30) spoke to a regular meeting of the West Hollywood City Council to provide an update from her first few months in Congress. Representative Friedman (CA-30) covered legislation she is working to pass, federal investments she has secured for local projects, and her legislative priorities moving forward. Friedman also answered questions from West Hollywood City Councilmembers.
A recording of her remarks can be found here.
“West Hollywood is one of several cities I represent that have all been directly impacted by the callous actions of the Trump Administration. I’m proud to share my work so far with City Council here to show how we’re fighting back and making progress.” said Congresswoman Laura Friedman (CA-30). “When we’re united, we can combat this administration's disastrous policies – like clawing back more than $19 million in HIV prevention grants for LGBTQ service providers across Los Angeles,”
Friedman also touched on her work in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee advocating for full federal investment into the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Program and the Safe Routes to School Program, which helps make streets safer, prevent roadway fatalities, and reduce serious injuries. Friedman has fought for these investments all of her elected life — including her time as Glendale Mayor, as a State Assemblymember, and now as a Congresswoman.
In addition to her work in D.C., Friedman also shared statistics from her and her office’s work in California’s 30th Congressional District. Her casework team has already solved nearly 900 constituent cases and returned more than $3 million directly to constituents. Friedman (CA-30) has also attended more than 100 community events, 15 town halls, rallies, and roundtables, responded to more than 90,000 constituent inquiries, and joined almost 600 letters and bills.
