In November, Konstantine Anthony was elected to the Burbank City Council. Anthony is a Democrat, a father, and an Uber driver who fought for driver wages as a founding member of Mobile Workers Alliance. He has a history of progressive advocacy for unhoused people, renters, disability rights, and working people.
Anthony described his platform as “unapologetically bold and far-reaching, from homelessness to housing justice to community policing.” His priorities include addressing what he sees as Burbank’s biggest challenges: “the housing crisis and homelessness, our vanishing small businesses, unfair wages, traffic and speeding, and outdated environmental policy.” He also seeks to protect mom & pop businesses, raise working class wages, and return Burbank to its roots as a union town.
