In two L.A. City Council races, police 'abolition' is a wedge issue
Briefly

Los Angeles City Council candidate Ysabel Jurado's campaign reflects a significant shift toward police abolition, emphasizing the need for reallocating resources from law enforcement to community programs.
In a 20-page questionnaire, Jurado stated, 'I believe that we keep ourselves safe,' articulating her vision for a society that relies less on police and more on community-led safety.
Her opponent, Kevin de León, argues that Jurado's abolitionist stance is 'elitist and irresponsible,' claiming that such views could worsen safety in low-income neighborhoods.
The upcoming election is seen as a pivotal moment for Los Angeles politics, with candidates like Jurado aiming to reshape public safety funding and policies through leftist ideals.
