In Chatsworth, Granada Hills and other parts of the northwestern San Fernando Valley, voters are headed to the polls Tuesday to decide who will fill a coveted seat on the Los Angeles City Council.
The race has pitted John Lee, a former City Hall aide and consultant, against astrophysicist and college educator Loraine Lundquist, in a closely watched contest that has drawn attention not just in the Valley but across Los Angeles.
Lundquist, who embraces a “housing first” approach, lamented that the council district has failed to spend the money that taxpayers are already paying for housing and services. The union that represents most workers at the Department of Water and Power sponsored a committee that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to support Lee, bankrolling mailers that accuse Lundquist of having an “extremist agenda.” Lee also benefited from independent spending by business groups and the union that represents LAPD officers.
