Ysabel Jurado

Ysabel Jurado's primary achievement is her historic election to the Los Angeles City Council in November 2024. By defeating a powerful incumbent, she became the first person of Filipino descent to hold this seat, breaking a significant barrier for representation in the city's highest governing body. Her rapid ascension to Chair of the Homelessness and Health Committee in August 2026 further cements her role as a key player in shaping local policy on critical issues like housing and public health.
