Endorsement: Adrin Nazarian for Los Angeles City Council District 2
LA TimesLos Angeles City Council District 2 stretches from Toluca Lake and Studio City in the south through North Hollywood and Valley Glen to Sun Valley in the north. Nazarian was Krekorian’s longtime chief of staff, first in the Assembly from 2006 to 2010 and then in the City Council when Krekorian took office in 2010. This attribute would be an asset on the L.A. City Council, where big changes — such as increasing housing affordability, easing homelessness, improving public safety and reforming City Hall — will take years of consistent, committed leadership from elected officials. Jillian Burgos is an optician and owner of a theater company who joined the North Hollywood Neighborhood Council in 2021, where she’s helped organize support for tenant protections and unarmed response pilot programs.
