Some big news!

Hi everybody!

As some of you may have seen on my social media a few days ago, I recently announced that I have officially joined Rick Caruso’s campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles as a Special Advisor, with an emphasis on the LGBTQ+ community.

I wrote about Rick on this very website back in January about why I felt he would be a great candidate for Mayor- as a successful businessman and effective civic leader, he has the right skills and background to tackle the many challenges that L.A. faces today.

Seeing as I will be singularly focused on getting him elected between now and the election in November, I have paused all of your subscriptions for the time being. You will not be charged further for any payments between now and if/when I come back to Substack.

But let me say that I am extremely grateful to all of you for the support you have given me in my writing over the last year. You’ve empowered me, and given me the opportunity and motivation to use my voice to try to make things better. I hope you’ll continue to follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Have a great summer, and all the best!!

-Duke.
