Super Tuesday Local Election 2020

Councilmember Herb Wesson (2nd)

Served as the President of the Los Angeles City Council from November 2011 attraverso 2019 and has represented Council District 10 da 2005. Wesson is the first African American to hold the position of Council President in the city’s history and was been re-elected three times to lead the city’s legislative body. During his tenure as Council President, Wesson presided over monumental policy initiatives making Los Angeles a better place to live, work and raise a family. Not only have local policy initiatives —which include raising the minimum wage, pension reform and consolidating city elections to increase voter turnout— positively affected local residents, but in many cases, the city’s actions have spurred state and national response and served as a model for similar policies.

He knows our community needs new leadership where people are first. Melvin puts people first, not politics. As a long-time fighter for human rights, Melvin is committed to a progressive stance on empowered life for all in our communities

Grace Yoo (CD 10)

Community leader and attorney, running for Los Angeles City Council District 10. After spending nearly 30 years advocating for my neighbors, working-class families and individuals who have been neglected by the City, I decided it was time to run for City Council to end corruption and enact fiscally responsible policies that actually benefit the people of Los Angeles.

Channing Martinez (CD 10)

Worked with The Strategy Center’s Fight for the Soul of the Cities to get military-grade weapons— including a tank—taken out of LAUSD. The Bus Riders Union, of which I am a member of, won $2.5 Billion for Black and Latino passengers, fought to increase bus service and reduce bus fares. The Community Rights Campaign of which I am a member of stopped the racist ticketing of more than 10,000 Black and Brown LAUSD students who received $250 truancy tickets.
