There are two Los Angeles City Council seats up for grabs on May 16, along with two Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education seats. One citywide ballot measure will also be decided.
In the First District, Councilman Gil Cedillo is being challenged by Joe Bray-Ali. The candidates for the open seat in the Seventh District are Monica Rodriguez and Karo Torossian.
In the LAUSD’s Fourth District, Nick Melvoin is challenging board President Steve Zimmer, while Kelly Gonez and Imelda Padilla are vying for the open seat in the Sixth District.
Measure C would change the rules on police disciplinary boards to add the option of officers facing an all-civilian panel as an alternative to a panel of two command-level officers and one civilian.
