What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Two Los Angeles City Council races are scheduled for the November election, one of which is in South Los Angeles. Curren Price could not run for re-election in District 9 due to term limits. The candidates in the South L.A. race, both Latin American immigrants, differ on policy approaches to homelessness and housing. One candidate advocates for prioritizing basic services and affordable housing, while the other supports boosting Los Angeles Police Department ranks and enforcing encampment bans.
