The unexpected resignation of L.A. Council President Nury Martinez created an opening that will be filled by either Imelda Padilla or Marisa Alcazar, two Latinas in their 30s born and raised in the district.
The residents of Los Angeles City Council District 6, located in the north San Fernando Valley that includes parts of Van Nuys and North Hollywood, have been without a voting councilmember for eight months.
Alcaraz has worked for Councilmember Curren Price since 2013, currently serving as his deputy chief of staff. Last week, Price was charged with multiple counts of embezzlement, perjury and conflicts of interest. Alcaraz said her focus at city hall has been on developing policy, including helping create the guaranteed basic income program and pushing for a $15 minimum wage.
