We cannot do this essential work without your help. We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you. Kevin de León has conceded in the L.A. City Council race against tenants rights attorney Ysabel Jurado. Yasabel Jurado waits outside the Arroyo Seco Regional Library in Los Angeles, before casting her ballot on Nov. 5, 2024."In the first hundred days, we're going to go and start town halls because we want to know what the voters really care about," she said."And sometimes, a lot of the times we find, even on this campaign trail, they have their own solutions to the problems that they're facing.
Meanwhile, at his Election Night event at San Antonio Winery, De León acknowledged his role in the leaked tape scandal."I owned it, and I apologized," he said during a speech."But I didn't quit on you because that was too much at stake, and it was too much if our district didn't have representation."
Even after the last ballot is cast, LAist reporting and voting guides are here for you. But we need to hear from you now with your support to know that this work we’re doing is important.
