THE CANDIDATES THUS FAR….

In 2013 communities within City Council District 13 (CD13), which includes Atwater Village, will get a new representative for City Council. CD13’s current representative, Eric Garcetti, is being termed out and pretenders to replace him have already started to lineup.

Two contenders have already submitted the preliminary paperwork at the City’s Ethic Commission to run as candidates: Mitch O’Farrell (Glassell Park) and Scott Crawford (Silver Lake). Three other hopefuls are also expected to follow suit; these include Joshua Post (Echo Park), Jose Sigala (Echo Park) and Rueben Martinez (Atwater Village).

In addition, State Senator Kevin de Leon (22nd District) is also rumored to be running for CD13. De Leon does not live in CD13 but some sections of his senate district overlap it.
