I talk with Estuardo Mazariegos, candidate for Council District 9 in the City of Los Angeles, on this episode of WNLA.Today is the second installment of our series of interviews with candidates running to succeed Curren Price on the LA City Council. The 9th Council District in Los Angeles stretches from the southern edge of Downtown Los Angeles, through South Central, all the way toward Watts. The communities of Central-Alameda, Vernon-Central, South Park, Green Meadows, and Vermont Square all call District 9 home. The district is among the most diverse and youngest in the city, with over three-quarters of residents identifying as Latino, a significant Black community, and many families with roots across Latin America and beyond. Nearly 40% of District 9 residents live below the federal poverty line, making it the city's poorest council district, and many households face challenges of housing insecurity, limited access to good jobs, and environmental burdens.With Price completing his third and final term, the seat is open for the first time since 2013. The primary election will take place on June 2, 2026, and the runoff, if needed, will be in November. This year, the field features community leaders, non-profit executives, and policy advocates all vying for votes. The candidates include Jose Ugarte, Estuardo Mazariegos, Elmer Roldan, and several others—each bringing their own vision for the future of South LA.Today's guest is Estuardo Mazariegos.

#119: The Los Angeles City Council has been through a lot of upheaval. In the past few years, there's been corruption scandals, indictments, leaked tapes with racist language — all involving city leaders. The latest: Councilmember Curren Price has been charged with embezzlement of public funds, among other counts. It's rattled his largely Latino district, which came out (mostly) in his defense recently. Unlike past corruption charges against sitting councilmembers, the council moved NOT to suspend him (yet) as the charges work their way through the court. But as the last of two Black councilmembers in L.A., his situation has a lot of observers wondering about the future of Black political power in this city. Guests: LAist's Civics and Democracy Correspondent Frank Stoltze and Los Angeles Times columnist Erika D. Smith.
