California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta is urging L.A. officials to redraw city council districts to ensure better representation of Latino voters, especially by 2026.
Bonta's draft document stipulates that the city must finalize new council district maps without regard to the political fortunes of council members, emphasizing fair representation.
Concerns have been raised that two Eastside districts, represented by Eunisses Hernandez and Kevin de León, lack sufficient Latino voter representation.
Ideas discussed include the potential establishment of a third "Latino" district in the San Fernando Valley, which was initially proposed but not adopted.
