LA City Council and Mayoral Race
Download a file listing all the endorsed Candidates, click here.
We have a unique opportunity to move Los Angeles in a dramatically more progressive direction, particularly with Erin Darling, Hugo Soto-Martinez and Danielle Sandoval. Erin is running to maintain the tradition of progressive representation that we expect from the Westside, taking the mantle from Bill Rosendahl and departing councilmember Mike Bonin. Hugo is running against an incumbent councilmember who has been in the pocket of developers as long as he’s been in office. Danielle’s opponent is a former lobbyist for the Police Protective League and the for-profit Charter Schools, who is being funded by fossil fuel companies and the landlords’ association. |

ADA SoCal Eunisses Hernandez for L.A. City Council District 1
Eunisses Hernandez is a community organizer, lifelong Highland Park resident, daughter of Mexican immigrants, and Councilmember for Los Angeles City Council District 1. Prior to elected office, she co-founded La Defensx, an organization dedicated to shifting Los Angeles County’s reliance on criminalization and incarceration towards systems of care, and her leadership was instrumental in policy victories like Measure J, which reallocate resources into community-based services and alternatives to incarceration. As Councilmember, she has led efforts to pass the strongest tenant protections in 40 years, co-authored the Sanctuary City Ordinance, opened Northeast New Beginnings, a first-of-its-kind interim housing model transitioning people into permanent housing, and successfully fought off harmful developments like the proposed trucking depot in Lincoln Heights. In her first year in office, she was the only Councilmember to vote no on the City's budget, citing concerns over inequitable resource allocation, inspiring others to follow the next year. Her advocacy earned her a coveted spot on the Budget and Finance Committee in 2025, where she played a central role in reshaping a nearly $14 billion plan, securing funding to prevent layoffs of over 1,000 city workers, cutting police recruitment plans by half, preserving services for low-income and immigrant communities while opposing deep cuts to departments serving housing, disability, public health, and community investment, and expanding unarmed crisis response by $4.4 million. Eunisses Hernandez is running for re-election to continue fighting for a city where dignified housing is a human right, where no one has to choose between food or rent, where our kids are safe and healthy, where immigrants are welcome, and where our budget invests in care and community.

Instead of accepting systems designed to suppress our communities, he chose to organize.

Estuardo is running for City Council to expand social housing, enforce tenant protections, invest in our neighborhoods, and stand with immigrant families. Because his only obligation is to the people of District 9, he proudly refuses all money from corporate PACs, real estate developers, and police associations. Learn more click here.

ADA SoCal Endorses Marissa Roy L.A. City Attorney Marissa Roy is a lifelong Angeleno who has spent her career fighting for the people. From her start with the City Attorney's office to her current role as a Deputy Attorney General*, Marissa has worked to protect working families, renters, immigrants, and all Californians. Her decision to pursue a career in public service was formed as a result of one vote—when Prop 8 passed and took away marriage equality for LGBTQ+ Californians, including her younger brother. Marissa watched as the San Francisco City Attorney's Office filed the lawsuit to overturn Prop 8. Those city lawyers successfully led the battle for marriage equality that changed the course of so many lives, and put Marissa on the path to serve as a lawyer to the people.
Marissa has dedicated her entire career as an attorney bringing civil rights and consumer protection litigation on behalf of local and state government. At the L.A. City Attorney’s Office, she helped build landmark lawsuits against trucking companies at the Port of Los Angeles, which were misclassifying drivers, and car wash companies that exploited workers—putting tens of thousands of dollars in stolen wages back in workers’ pockets. As outside counsel for the County of Los Angeles, Marissa took on Trump as part of more than a dozen legal actions to protect sanctuary cities, defend students and DACA recipients, and fight the inhumane treatment of immigrants seeking asylum. As a Deputy Attorney General, Marissa now fights to stop predatory practices on behalf of consumers, including standing up for tenants who are wrongfully evicted and suing billion-dollar tech companies that threaten public health and safety. Eunisses Hernandez is running for re-election to continue fighting for a city where dignified housing is a human right, where no one has to choose between food or rent, where our kids are safe and healthy, where immigrants are welcome, and where our budget invests in care and community.

County Sheriff SHERIFF ROBERT LUNA34th Sheriff of Los Angeles County Growing up in unincorporated East Los Angeles, from a poor Latino immigrant family, Luna’s neighborhood was patrolled by the Sheriff’s Department.

Today, Sheriff Luna is running for reelection to continue his successful leadership of the nation's largest Sheriff's Department. Prior to his election as Sheriff in November 2022, Luna served seven years as Long Beach Chief of Police, capping a 36-year career at the Long Beach Police Department, the county’s second largest police department.
