Due to the global pandemic, we lost 133 days of signature gathering out of the 180 <br />days we were legally entitled to gather signatures to put rent control on the ballot for Santa Ana. The shelter in place <br />orders explicitly prohibited us from being able to go door-to-door, but we have demonstrated massive public interest in <br />our campaign. People are receiving abusive rent increases even during the pandemic and need protections now more <br />than ever. I ask that you please consider placing the rent control initiative directly on the ballot so Santa Ana voters can <br />use their voice and vote. The potential for voter engagement this November may increase by placing this initiative <br />directly on the ballot. <br /> <br />Thank You <br /> <br />Valeria Esqueda <br />3 <br /> <br />
