Side by Side

Where They Stand

★ Herbington

Bring PD and community voices to the same table. Reform charging practices so they're fair and proportional. Blaze has lived both sides — his reform comes from experience, not a law degree.

Both Sides Heard
🛡️ Public Safety
Neiman

Wants LSPD complaint notifications — people get told whether action was taken. A step forward, but it doesn't touch how charges are applied or who bears the cost of a broken system.

Paperwork Reform
★ Herbington

Owns and operates The Moore Club. Wants to cut red tape, restructure taxes to support startups, and audit every business in the city. He's not theorizing — he's already done it.

Owner, Not a Lawyer
💼 Business & Economy
Neiman

Bi-Monthly Business Awards sound nice. But his Employee Empowerment bill lets staff petition to remove owners and force a business auction. A dangerous policy for anyone who's actually built something.

Threat to Owners
★ Herbington

Ethics reform for city council, weekly town halls across the city, and whistleblower protections. Accountability baked into how Blaze will govern — not rules he's setting for someone else.

Leads by Example
⚖️ Transparency
Neiman

Wants mandatory mayoral hours posted on Yellow Pages and minimum council meetings. These are rules he wants to put on the office he's running for — not exactly a vision, it's a job description.

Rules for Himself
★ Herbington

Grew up in the streets. Was paralyzed. Went abroad for experimental treatment. Came back walking and built a business. Every policy is shaped by that journey — not a career in institutions.

Earned It
🏙️ Background
Neiman

Public Defender and City Council Courts Liaison. Undefeated in court — but the courtroom and the community are two different places. His experience is institutional, not street-level.

Career Politician
★ Herbington

Charge reform is a cornerstone. The current system punishes people disproportionately. Blaze will push for fair, consistent charges — and make sure both law enforcement and the community have a say in shaping them.

Charge Reform Now
🔏 Criminal Justice
Neiman

Offers DMV Day — pay $500 per charge to wipe traffic citations monthly at City Hall. Justice shouldn't have a price tag. This rewards those who can afford it, not those who need reform most.

Pay to Clear
The Bottom Line

One Came Up.
One Was Born Here.

Neiman knows the system. Blaze knows the city. Los Santos doesn't need another politician who learned about these streets from a case file — it needs someone who lived them.

You've Seen
Both Sides.

The choice comes down to this: a career politician with a clipboard, or someone who's actually lived Los Santos — and survived it.
