Breakfast:
He Wants To Run L.A.
Like a Business:
If your career included being the
youngest person ever to become a partner at Blackstone, a leading private
equity and financial advisory firm, and then founding Evercore Partners,
a global investment banking firm
Instead, Austin Beutner took a dollar-a-year job in Los Angeles City Hall as the City's First Deputy Mayor and Chief Executive for Economic and Business Policy, trying to make Los Angeles more business-friendly. He also took the reins at the Department of Water & Power, cutting $263 million from its budget. Now Beutner, who will be our January 20 breakfast speaker, is running for the office of Mayor of Los Angeles. He has the endorsement of the City's last business-oriented leader, Richard Riordan. His campaign stresses three key goals: leveraging Los Angeles's strengths; trimming waste; and making City government more responsive and accountable to its citizens and businesses. Why is he running? Because, he says, "We’ve had enough talk from career politicians. We need a leader who can and will bring together the best people and the best ideas from our business, labor, faith-based and academic communities, as well as from neighborhoods all around L.A. "We need a mayor who will roll up his sleeves and work tirelessly on behalf of all Angelenos. And we need to change the culture of City Hall from one that says 'no' to new ideas to one that says 'yes' — one that will turn those ideas into realities." Come hear how the candidate called "the unpolitician" believes he can win the election and put the City on the right track, at our January 20 meeting.
