This is what Third Street Promenade looked like on Memorial Day weekend. Empty. A holiday weekend. In Santa Monica. One of the most well-known areas in Los Angeles. Does this look normal? This used to be a place full of families, tourists, restaurants, shopping, street performers, and life. Now it feels empty, unsafe, and forgotten. Santa Monica deserves better than this. #dougtrussler #santamonica #santamonicapier #thirdstreetpromenade #thirdstreet

Santa Monica’s crime problem is not just one issue — it is connected to homelessness, drug addiction, untreated mental health challenges, and a lack of consistent accountability. But ignoring the problem is not compassion. Allowing residents, visitors, and business owners to feel unsafe is not a solution. We need real change. That means managing crime, connecting people to the right resources, enforcing the law, and creating a safer Santa Monica for everyone. #dougtrussler #santamonica #cityc

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
