Jurado said De León failed to effectively represent the district. De León said Jurado is extreme, aligning herself with activists who want to defund the LAPD.
Ysabel Jurado made a huge splash on Los Angeles' Eastside last spring, coming in first in the five-way primary election for a City Council seat representing neighborhoods stretching from downtown to Eagle Rock. The 34-year-old tenant rights attorney, a first-time candidate, pulled ahead of Kevin de León, the politically wounded incumbent who once served as president of the state Senate.
She disparaged his work on homelessness, referring to the district's tiny homes as 'sheds.' She touted her support from heavy hitters such as the Los Angeles County Democratic Party and the county's Federation of Labor. She pointed to endorsements from Councilmembers Hugo Soto-Martínez and Eunisses Hernandez, who occupy the left end of the political spectrum on the council. Jurado used her endorsement list to argue that De León no longer has meaningful allies.
