Voters in City Council District 14, which includes downtown, Boyle Heights, Eagle Rock and other communities on L.A.’s eastern flank, have a stark choice on Nov. 5.

Jurado would join a growing bloc of progressive council members, including Eunisses Hernandez, Nithya Raman and Hugo Soto-Martínez, who have shaken things up at City Hall by unseating incumbents. Jurado does not support Mayor Karen Bass' plan to expand the Los Angeles Police Department and wants to redirect its budget toward unarmed crisis response and other priorities, such as fixing broken streetlights and funding youth development and gang intervention programs.
