To qualify for a municipal election ballot, candidates must collect a minimum number of valid signatures from registered voters in their jurisdiction, with Santa Monica requiring approximately 100 signatures but recommending 200-300 to account for invalid signatures due to voter registration issues or illegible handwriting. Candidates must also meet financial requirements, including filing fees and potential ballot access fees, while building a campaign committee to manage the nomination process and gather necessary documentation before the deadline.

š¦ššš”šš§šØš„š šš„šš©š: Venice Healer Daisy Seeks Spot in Santa Monica City Council Race
Added:Santa Monica City Council candidate Daisy, knownĀ locally as the Venice Healer, spent Wednesday afternoon on the Third Street Prominade gatheringĀ signatures from registered Santa Monica voters as she worked to qualify for the November ballot. HeyĀ you guys, are you guys local? Are you a local guy?
She She looked like a local. She looked likeĀ a surfer guy. Um, Viv and Santa Monica. Santa Monica. Santa Monica. Okay. Keep coming back.Ā Keep coming back. How do you say that in English?
All right. Do you see that dinosaur rightĀ there facing that other dinosaur? Y. Okay. So, those three trees right after those twoĀ dinosaurs, I didn't get a chance to show you, but I had three. You know those gardensĀ I do? Yeah. I had three of those gardens, one for each tree. Incidentally, my gardensĀ were taken down. They were bulldozed. So, I'm running for city council. Hey, do you guysĀ like gardens? Are you guys local? Hey, goddess.
Are you guys visiting SantaĀ Monica? Oh, I'm running to city.
Yeah. Okay. Well, thank you. Being able to think.Ā Yeah. So, you got to be you got to be good with rejection and hearing no is a positive. Thank you.Ā Because if if you're not interested in supporting me, then don't because this is important. ThisĀ is about our city and how it's run. So, sorry, I was they kind of look like locals, so I hadĀ So, can you tell us about these signatures? Yeah, I'm a little busy right now, but I guess I couldĀ talk for a minute. Um, I'm getting signatures and I have my running partner here. I'm actually on aĀ hunk hunt and I don't know where he is, but I I'm actually following his musk, his scent. And also,Ā do you see these? These are level 10 ginormous grade A muscle hunk tracks. You could tell. So,Ā I've been following that while I get signatures.
Are you a local? What's up? All right. ShouldĀ we talk later? How many signatures do you have to get? Well, and they recommend we get about twoĀ or 300. 100 are needed. Problem is a lot of times people sign and they're not actually registeredĀ to vote in Santa Monica or at all. Or maybe they wrote their name illeible or perhaps missed aĀ letter. Who knows? So, it's recommended to turn in your paperwork early. I've got about a week.Ā If I want to turn in my paperwork the recommended, you know, week and a half early. Got to turnĀ in my paperwork by next week. Hey you guys, I'm going to need some signatures if I could beĀ in your city council. Do you like gardens and healing circles? Men wrestling and maybe later.Ā And when's the deadline for the signatures? Oh, well, I'm glad you asked. So, if you guys want toĀ help, I need a whole campaign committee. We don't have a lot of time to do this. And there's a wholeĀ schedule of how long we have to do it. And it is when did you pick up your packet? I went toĀ their orientation on the 13th and it was the same day that I had court for uh the wholeĀ parental alienation stuff with my kids and well August 5th is the deadline and that's notĀ the deadline to turn in your paperwork because if you turn in your paperwork and yourĀ signatures are not all good then they're not going to accept it. So, you got to turnĀ it in early so they can give you the okay.
And if there's anything that needs to beĀ fixed, then you have a chance to fix it.
Uh, oh yeah, this is one.
So, August 7th is the nomination period,Ā and I'm going to have to raise $1,100.
for a chance to have a paragraph nextĀ to my name on the ballot. Sorry. Did I disturb you? I'm here. Oh, no.Ā No. You were here first. Sorry.
Okay. So, in order to have a paragraph next toĀ my name on the ballot, it's going to be $1,100.
My name is Lindsay Davis on my birth certificate.Ā I was born Charlene Fodor. However, my legal name is Lindsay Davis. And people get confused becauseĀ there's Lindsay Davis, there's Charlene Fodor, there's DC the Venice Healer. People might notĀ know who Lindsay Davis is. So, I really do feel like it's important that I raise this $1,100 so IĀ can have that paragraph. And that's so when people go and vote for me, they know who they're votingĀ for. And additionally, there's some people who are going to vote online. They made sure there'sĀ a fee for that, too. So, if I want to also have a little paragraph with people who want to voteĀ online, then that's another $279. And then there's also a filing fee. And the filing fee is like $26.Ā So, it's about $1,400 DC is going to have to raise for this campaign. And because I have a runningĀ mate who I still have not I lost his scent. It's okay. There's some goddesses went by. So, I wasĀ just noticing their fluffy hair. I'll pick up his scent as soon as they go away. So, we're goingĀ to have to raise double that. $2,800. So, I have this stuff for people. I ran out of my big flyersĀ and I also created these little flyers because I'm might not always have all these papers. So, theseĀ are my little flyers. And right here it says what I'm about. Biodiversity, interdependence,Ā and awakening. That's your platform. Oh, yeah. So, biodiversity, that's Daisy's gardens.Ā You could bet I'm going to still do my gardens.
Well, interdependence that's the fellowships. SoĀ the fellowships is is the answer to the question what will we do when the jobs go away and theĀ answer is we will move towards each other we will become interdependent adding the principleĀ of willingness because if we don't want to do it AI or robot win so what are we going to do that'sĀ the interdependence that's the fellowships what are fellowships okay so people who like to doĀ market economy great do market econ economy. But for people who don't want market economy, thatĀ will be for games, treasures, treasure hunting, stars, performers, icons, games, things like that,Ā but not for our universal needs. For example, we will have the fivestar restaurants you couldĀ pay for, and we will have the fivestar restaurants where the teaching is done there, the learningĀ is done there. You want to learn how to cook like a fivestar chef or be a matra, what? ComeĀ on. The giving and the receiving is done there.
There's no pain. There's no exchange. There's noĀ initiation. You can never get kicked out. This is a space of unconditional belonging, trust,Ā and connections. And they get built by having the experience over and over again where we'reĀ meeting our needs together. And when we spend time together paying for experiences and payingĀ for stuff, we're not actually meeting our needs together. We're just going together to buyĀ stuff to meet our needs in the market economy.
But when we are meeting our needs togetherĀ without someone paying, we're just doing it because of the desire of and the principle ofĀ willingness. Then we have fellowships. Now we're building trust and connection. That's what'sĀ been missing. That's what is missing when you pay. So that's the interdependence piece. And IĀ know that's confusing. That's why I took a long time explaining that. The awakening piece is theĀ healing circles that I've already been doing for many years. You've seen them on right here onĀ Santa Monica Closeup. who by the way this is this is like an official news publication.Ā He has a press pass and everything and you know you guys are looking at the real deal streetĀ level unfiltered truth not trying to sway you any way and not many people are willing to film meĀ and show this. So thank you Fabian because I've I've had a lot of resistance in the lovebasedĀ revolution which is why I'm doing this. My tiny homes on wheels. They tried to act like I wasĀ a crazy lady. What What is the prognosis for the daisies of the road? Oh, it's not good. Oh,Ā she's not. She has a she shack that she rolled to the beach. No, there was six of them and it wasĀ a couple thousand dollars each which I raised through the community by getting them to comeĀ together and build it by hand and bring piece by piece either from construction sites of people whoĀ wanted to give us this flip or people who wanted to use their money to go buy it and and this tookĀ a lot of work in community. It's not just some crazy lady in a shoe shack even though I kindĀ of like that. You think I did it all on my own?
And and having the city constantly bulldoze myĀ gardens. They haven't thwarted my healing circles, but they did thwart my very existence to just wantĀ to sleep peacefully on the beach and not pay the sleeping tax that I that's called rent. You know,Ā our our universal basic needs. It's called that we are meant to thrive. There's no deserve language.Ā So, so these are my three pillars and Daisy tends to I'm here listening to you guys. I'm looking atĀ the comments. I want to respond more and I know that I try to, you know, ramble on. Sometimes I'mĀ hard to understand. So, I'm going to try to make it easy. You can also go to my website. It's veryĀ organized on there. You can donate to my campaign.
You can get involved. Join my my city councilĀ committee and that's daisytheenesshealer.org.
And then the awakening part is both in theĀ biodiversity. their gardens and with the local government you can create a lot more changeĀ compared to the government harder. For example, in Santa Monica, we have hot springs and weĀ have the ocean and we have the potential for many other watering holes and many more gardens.Ā And that's things that we um well right now.
This is my running mate, Ryan.
So, um there you go. one single.
So, what do you care about most? Like for example,Ā what do you think the airport? That's a tough one.
I think she stays in the airport and have someĀ some street park, but I think the airport cuz if there's fire, you need the airport land place takeĀ off and there's always going to be a fire because these idiots are doing the same mistakes they haveĀ done over there. the having the airport in our city also Santa Monica College I guess is goingĀ to be university so having having airport and having things that help our city like that doesn'tĀ mean when did you get on November 3rd or the 4th um so I was saying that cuz I am totally one forĀ green space but we don't have to get rid of our airport to have green enough green space for theĀ homeless the homeless you get the green space yeah well we to add green space cuz there's a lotĀ of concrete that's left you know anything and we could keep the airport. It's not like this orĀ that. I think the airport is st personally. That's why it's not. Um, you know, as someone who cameĀ up um as a homeless young girl at Santa Monica, I've been through with and out every program,Ā every house and off and I I just think I know what it takes to help people to get um more peopleĀ through the system and out the street and clean up the whole neighborhood and it'll bring more peopleĀ to come in. Decriminalize all drugs, decriminalize prostitution, clean up, but get them to do whatĀ they should do. Actually, following rules rather than trying to get get some common. So, I'm gladĀ I'm glad you brought up the police and common sense. You know what I call it? Instead of the lawĀ enforcement, we rename it to the law enforcement and we add one. You need We have to Well, you haveĀ to make sure the folks Well, I agree and and what you're saying is important. We need to actuallyĀ address the problems. I believe that the way we do it is by identifying that. So, instead of labelingĀ behaviors as crimes, we we look at behaviors as a strategy to meet a need and then we look at all ofĀ the needs that are that that strategy is trying to meet. And instead of putting our attention on theĀ behavior, psychology says if we put our attention on the universal needs that that person's tryingĀ to meet through applied behavioral analysis and therapy and positive reframing, that person canĀ gain more insight through love and understanding and mirroring what is wanted than throughĀ punishment. We actually hurt people when we punish them. But if we show up with love, imagineĀ a Facebook page, right? You know, I'm on Facebook, but it's my old life, so I haven't posted onĀ there, but you could look up Daisy the Venice healer. And I have a website. Okay. Daisy theĀ Venice Healer.org. Okay. All right. Well, look, and my number's on there. Feel free to reachĀ out. Ryan, I'm just on there as Ryan Bloomberg.
All right. Matt, it was good to meet you. ThankĀ you. And I live just a block away, so stay on, man. So, good luck, guys. Bye. Goodbye, Matt. ItĀ was good to meet you. That was awesome. Okay, I'm going to tell you my idea for the airport. Okay.Ā So, we need to think toward the future. A lot of people are saying that the airplanes are in theĀ past. Okay, maybe. But toward the future, we're still going to be in the sky. We're going to haveĀ EV talls. And you want to know something else that we're going to have? And this is what I proposeĀ that we start in Santa Monica. In our future, like if you look at the Jetsons, they're in EV talls,Ā electric vertical landing and takeoff vehicles that are going to be in LA in 2028. So, we'reĀ already looking to the Jetsons now. Well, what are they landing on? What is that thing in theĀ sky? And that's my idea for Santa Monica airport.
Not only will it be a hub for EV talls and theĀ new flying technology, I don't know what they're all called, but it will also be the landing pad,Ā which is an orbital ring. And if you look to our future and you listen to those the great minds ofĀ technology, they'll tell you the new travel will be in space. It the new cities will be in orbitalĀ rings. Those who live close to Earth will be the guardians. Those who live high will have access toĀ space elevators. So my proposal for Santa Monica airport is we start to look toward the future.Ā Our first orbital ring space elevator could be located in Santa Monica. And then Santa MonicaĀ could get the plans and the funding from the federal government to build the first orbitalĀ ring on the planet. Go Santa Monica. Go high five it. Yeah. It's my brother. He didn't leaveĀ me hanging. That was awesome. He's a superhero.
for many moons and many suns. IĀ did meditate and call for the hunk.
Waiting for my primary partner. I knew whoĀ would come. With his ginormous muscles and his chiseled chin and his amazing charisma andĀ he would be wild and free just like me. He would bump up against systems that were trying to putĀ the boot on his neck. And he would somehow get the boot off his neck just like me and wantĀ to join me and and be each other's sidekicks, equal empowering partners. And of course, I feltĀ sparks right away. So, do you do you want to be my primary partner? Oh, I'd love to be yourĀ primary partner. You're the coolest person I ever met. My name is Ryan Bloberg. 10 yearsĀ ago, I bought a one-way ticket to Los Angeles because I was a homeless alcoholic and IĀ landed in the city of Santa Monica where everything had instantly come together. AllĀ the homeless people, the people of AA and the resources of the city saved my life and builtĀ me up to a place to where I think maybe I can be of help to people now. And you're runningĀ for city council? I'm running for city council.
is off the root. Now the truth is the truth.Ā He's got the vibes. He's got the positivity.
Yeah. I want you to feel somebody.

Tell me something that makes youĀ lovable. All right. Right here.
Yep.
Even as a passenger or in an Uber, you needĀ to try this. I'm an attorney. I've been doing this for years. And I'm standing here becauseĀ most people walk away from accidents leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table andĀ nobody tells them. Look at this. This is a real settlement. One of our clients, car accidentĀ almost a year after when he came to us. Most people assume they missed their shot. TheyĀ think it was too long ago. My injuries weren't that bad. I don't know if it's worth it. That'sĀ exactly what the insurance company wants you to think. Here's what they don't tell you. If youĀ were injured in a car accident the last year, even if you were a passenger, even if theĀ accident seemed minor dump, you may still be owed serious money. Now, I know what you'reĀ thinking. You thought about hiring an attorney before, but you didn't because nobody gave you aĀ straight answer. Are you local? No. First of all, welcome to Santa Monica. Okay. Thank you.Ā Thank you. Yeah. I like to welcome people to Santa Monica and I just ask like, "Hey,Ā are you a local?" And that way because I am genuinely curious. So before I even ask andĀ then I could keep coming back.

All right, they're done.
Hey, are you guys local? No. Oh, welcome.Ā Thank you. Thank you guys for listening.
All right. Hey guys, are you local?
So, the two parents were visiting. I think herĀ daughter lives here because she immediately looked to the side. Did you see that? No, IĀ haven't noticed. But okay. Yeah. So, usually that kind of means like that's not true. And youĀ did that. And the parents both looked forward, which means they probably like aren't local.Ā So, it was true for them, but not for her.
You want to know another one? IfĀ someone shows you the top of their gums, what do you think that means? Disgust. Yep.Ā So, if you see the top of someone's gums, Yeah. That is a a no. That means like stop givingĀ me your energy and attention now. And if they're just giving you disgust and you're not doingĀ anything, then that's actually a violence. It's not nice. And what is the cure to shame? BecauseĀ it's not the person being bad. They don't know any better. It was done to them. So the cure toĀ shame, goddess, you're lovable and beautiful.
Excuse the queen. The cure to shame is resonance.Ā Hello. Please bow to me. That's bowed. Okay, good.
All right, I got enough signatures. That'sĀ 107. I'm going to get a thousand just for fun.
Hey, superhero. I bet you're a local.Ā Well, if you care about Santa Monica, then I hope 97 years old. Wow.Ā 97. You are the next president.
But you're still here. You look like you're richĀ and famous. I'm done. I take the book, too. Hey, look. I'm I'm running for city council. IĀ don't have any money for you. No, no, no, no. I just want your signature. I can't I'm notĀ voting. So, okay, my brother. Well, take care.

That's right. So, you know, now you liveĀ the simple life. That's the good life, my brother. I'm with you. Well,Ā thank you for your time. 30 years.
That's right. Well, I can't wait toĀ see what you'll do next, my friend.
She's got to pick up your baby.
