Since making Culver City home in 2011, Freddy Puza has built a reputation as a collaborative leader, community advocate, and problem-solver dedicated to making the city more affordable, inclusive, and sustainable for everyone
Currently serving as Mayor and Councilmember, Freddy is in the fourth year of his first term on the Culver City Council. During his time in office, he has focused on addressing the issues that matter most to residents: improving neighborhood livability, expanding housing affordability, protecting renters, supporting small businesses, investing in safe transportation options, advancing climate action, and strengthening Culver City's vibrant arts and cultural community.
Freddy's commitment to public service began long before his election to City Council. He previously served on Culver City's Committee on Homelessness and the General Plan Advisory Committee, helping shape long-term solutions to some of the city's most pressing challenges. He also co-created Culver City Pride, helping launch the city's first-ever LGBTQ+ Pride celebration and establishing a new tradition that reflects Culver City's values of inclusion, belonging, and community. Through these efforts, Freddy has consistently worked to bring people together, amplify underrepresented voices, and build a city where everyone feels welcome.
