The race to replace Buscaino is one of eight council contests scheduled for next year. Six incumbents — Gil Cedillo, Bob Blumenfield, Monica Rodriguez, Curren Price, Mike Bonin and Mitch O’Farrell — have filed paperwork to run for another four-year term. In some of those races, incumbents are facing challenges from candidates running on a platform of cutting LAPD spending.

The other council race without an incumbent can be found on the Westside, where Councilman Paul Koretz is facing term limits. Koretz launched a bid last year to replace City Controller Ron Galperin, who is facing term limits himself.
