South L.A. district sees historic shift

Candidates Estuardo Mazariegos and Jose Ugarte, both Latin American immigrants who arrived undocumented as children, are vying to represent South Los Angeles in the upcoming city council election. Ugarte, the front-runner with 39% of the vote in the primary, emphasizes his commitment to advocating for Black residents and modeling himself after the current council member, while Mazariegos highlights his community organizing background and efforts to represent diverse neighborhoods. The election marks a historic shift, as the district, traditionally represented by Black council members, is now nearly 80% Latino, reflecting ongoing demographic and political changes.
