Voters in the San Fernando Valley are choosing between Marisa Alcaraz and Imelda Padilla to represent City Council District 6, a seat formerly held by Nury Martinez.
Tuesday night in the special election for the Los Angeles City Council seat representing the northeast and central San Fernando Valley, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar/Recorder.
“Oh my goodness, what a great start,” Padilla told the crowd, which included Reps. Brad Sherman and Tony Cardenas and former L.A. City Councilmember Felipe Fuentes. City Councilmembers Traci Park, John Lee and Marqueece Harris-Dawson were also spotted at Padilla’s party. After dancing with and hugging supporters, Alcaraz spoke briefly, thanking the campaign team and saying how much she appreciated them.
Just before the polls closed Tuesday, a steady stream of voters trundled into a Panorama City Goodwill office to mark their ballots. In general, Lemus didn’t think that the policymakers at City Hall paid enough attention to her corner of the northeastern San Fernando Valley. Alcaraz touted her experience crafting legislation to help street vendors and grocery store workers, while Padilla talked up her community work in the district.
