Interview with Long Beach Mayoral Candidate Oscar Cancio

Oscar Cancio talks about being raised in Koreatown in Los Angeles by a single dad, an experience that helped shape his work ethic, resilience, and perspective on community. From there, his journey led him into the military, where he developed leadership skills and a deeper appreciation for service and discipline. More than 10 years ago, Oscar moved to Long Beach and quickly fell in love with the city, its diversity, neighborhoods, culture, and people. Having lived in several different parts of Long Beach over the years, he believes he has a unique understanding of both the strengths and challenges facing the city today. Oscar shares his thoughts on public safety, housing, local business growth, and community connection, while discussing what he believes can help improve the quality of life for residents across Long Beach.
