Ysabel Jurado

About

Ysabel Jurado is a tenants rights attorney, affordable housing activist, single mom, daughter of undocumented Filipino immigrants, lifelong Angeleno, and candidate to become the next Councilmember for District 14. Born and raised in Highland Park, she attended Pasadena City College and put herself through college at UCLA, where she completed her bachelor’s degree. After graduating, she went on to UCLA School of Law, where she graduated with a Juris Doctorate with specializations in Critical Race Studies and the David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy.

She did it all as a single teen mom while raising her daughter, Stella.

As a housing rights attorney and during her work at Bet Tzedek Legal Services, Ysabel fought to stop tenant evictions and stood side by side with community organizations and small businesses that were at risk of losing their leases. Her practice has focused in particular on building pathways to home-ownership for communities of color, the preservation of open space, and reparative justice.

Ysabel is running for District 14 because she understands the immense powers the City Council holds in Los Angeles – and has watched local representatives betray her community time and again. Her platform focuses on expanding affordable housing, ending homelessness, supporting small businesses, tackling the climate crisis, and building a more just economy for all.

Mission

The people of CD 14 have been betrayed by our elected leaders. Between FBI raids, backroom gerrymandering, racist rants, and corruption charges, our needs have been chronically ignored. City government has failed us. We deserve better. I have lived in Highland Park my entire life. I am raising my daughter here. It’s time for someone who truly understands the challenges working people face in our community to steer the ship.

I have huge admiration for the strength and fortitude of East Los Angeles. And I want to bring that power to City Hall. With this election, we have the opportunity to capture the incredible energy of this district and take action on the things that matter most: safe streets, a strong social safety net, clean air, and housing that is affordable for working families.

We don’t need another career politician calling the shots. We need someone from and for this community who knows what it’s like to struggle to pay for rent and has stood alongside families as they’re evicted from their homes. We need someone who will make sure our local government leaves no one behind.

I’m running for City Council because it’s time for Los Angeles to prioritize seniors, children, and hard working Angelenos.

I hope you’ll join me.

Y

District 14
