Opening statements from CD-9 candidates at last week’s forum
After 12 years, the City of Los Angeles’s 9th district, where approximately 80% of the residents are Latino, will soon have a new representative.
As the June 2 primary election approaches, many residents and community members remain unsure of who to vote for to represent CD-9, which covers areas such as Exposition Park, Historic South Central, Central-Alameda and Vermont Square.
Longtime Councilmember Curren Price, who is currently facing an open public corruption case, is leaving office in December 2026, opening the seat to one of the many Latino candidates on the ballot or one certified write-in candidate.
