Episode Details

South Los Angeles City Council District nine is on the brink of a significant shift, with Councilman Curren Prices twelve-year term ending due to term limits. This marks the first non-Black representative since 1963, as six Latino candidates vie for the position. Prices tenure ended amidst pending charges of embezzlement and conflict of interest. The new district lines, redrawn in 2021, maintained economic hubs despite controversy. All candidates share Latino roots, reflecting the areas changing demographics. Residents grapple with public safety and service challenges, with candidates proposing varying solutions for police budgets, homelessness, and the controversial two-point-six billion dollar Convention Center expansion. The primary election is heating up, with the winner set to shape South L.A.s future for years to come.
