Ysabel Jurado, an openly gay Filipina tenants' rights attorney, is running for Los Angeles City Council in District 14 against incumbent Kevin de León. She has received endorsements from left-leaning sources and is advocating for change in a district with a history of corrupt leadership. Jurado criticizes de León's involvement in a recording scandal where racist and homophobic remarks were made, seeing it as a lack of true progressivism. She supports progressive policies, emphasizing the importance of socialism in advocating for workers' and housing rights, a sustainable local economy, and addressing discrimination through intersectionality. Jurado's campaign aims to center marginalized communities and be an ally to social movements. [Extracted from the article] |
