Help Us Re-Elect Eunisses Hernandez to LA City Council 2026
Eunisses Hernandez is a community organizer, lifelong Highland Park resident, daughter of Mexican immigrants, and Councilmember for Los Angeles' District 1. Prior to her election, she co-founded La Defensx, an organization dedicated to shifting Los Angeles County’s reliance on criminalization and incarceration towards systems of care, and her leadership was instrumental in policy victories like Measure J, which reallocate resources into community-based services and alternatives to incarceration. As Councilmember, she has led efforts to pass the strongest tenant protections in 40 years, authored the Sanctuary City Ordinance, co-introduced a motion to implement Measure ULA, opened Northeast New Beginnings, a first-of-its-kind interim housing model transitioning people into permanent housing, and successfully fought off harmful developments like the proposed trucking depot in Lincoln Heights. In her first year in office, she was the only councilmember to vote no on the City's budget, citing concerns over inequitable resource allocation, inspiring others to follow the next year. As a member of the Budget and Finance Committee in 2025, she is championing fiscal responsibility and equitable spending.
Eunisses Hernandez is running for re-election to continue fighting for a city where safe and dignified housing is a human right, where no one has to choose between food or rent, where immigrants are welcome, and where our budget invests in care and community.
