The election to fill the vacant Sixth District council seat is set for April 4, with a runoff, if necessary, taking place on June 27.
The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday, Nov. 9, gave final approval to an ordinance that sets a special election for April 4 to fill the Sixth District seat that former panel President Nury Martinez held until she resigned last month amid the LA City Hall racism scandal.
Council President Paul Krekorian said the source of the funding would be discussed further in the Budget and Finance Committee. The last day for interested candidates to file a declaration of intent to run is Dec. 12, according to the ordinance. The other two councilmembers involved in the leaked conversation that spurred the scandal, Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo, have so far defied calls to resign.Cedillo lost his reelection bid to Eunessis Hernandez in June and will leave office in December. Krekorian has suggested swearing in Hernandez immediately if Cedillo resigns.
