About Eddy Polon
Eddy Polon is a long-time Burbank resident, housing advocate, and transportation commissioner whose life and work have been guided by a simple principle: be part of the solution. For more than three decades, Eddy has brought a practical, values-driven approach to strengthening his community, supporting working families, and protecting the character of the place he calls home.
Eddy became involved in labor and community advocacy as a teenager, working alongside Catholic nuns and the United Farm Workers to secure fair wages and safe conditions for agricultural workers. He later built a successful career in film and entertainment, writing and producing television and interactive game shows including Tic Tac Dough, Jeopardy! Online, and You Win Live. That experience gave him firsthand insight into how central the entertainment industry is to Burbank’s identity, and how important it is for us to fight to protect entertainment industry workers as rising costs and land-use pressures threaten to push creative jobs and production out of the city.
