With Ysabel Jurado’s victory over incumbent Kevin de León to represent parts of downtown and the Eastside, the council will be majority female for the first time.

The City Council today confirmed former Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell as the 59th chief of the LAPD, the nation’s third-largest law enforcement agency, despite opposition from some immigrant rights advocates and other activists.

Ysabel Jurado will become the next Los Angeles City Councilmember for District 14, pulling a surprising upset against incumbent Kevin de León.

Latest vote counts for all elections in the city of Los Angeles, including City Council, ballot measures, assembly members and congressional districts.

Voters in three Los Angeles City Council districts will decide Tuesday who will represent them in City Hall for the next four years. Although seven seats were up for re-election this year, four candidates, Nithya Raman (CD4), Imedla Padilla (CD6), Marqueece Harris-Dawson (CD8) and John Lee (CD12) reached above 50% in the primary to avoid run-offs.

McDonnell said his goals were public safety, growing LAPD ‘back to full strength’ and strengthening public trust.

Incumbent Kevin de León has formally conceded defeat, putting an end a months-long battle between the councilman and progressive challenger Ysabel Jurado in the race to represent Los Angeles’$2 14th Council District.
