Original Jurisdiction Interview

Marina Torres is a top contender in the race. The daughter of undocumented immigrants from Mexico, she graduated from Stanford Law, worked for two leading law firms, and served in both the Obama Administration and as a federal prosecutor. Now she’s running for City Attorney, to try and give back to the city that has played such an important role in her life and the life of her family. If she ends up winning, City Attorney will be her first elected office—but I doubt it will be her last.

An overview of the candidates in the race for Los Angeles City Attorney.

 Unless a candidate gets more than 50% of the vote in the June 7 primary, the top two contenders head to a runoff in November. And in a break from recent tradition, there isn’t an incumbent or a well-known elected official in the candidate pool.

An overview of fundraising rules and efforts in the Los Angeles elections, featuring a quote from Marina:

Dig of the week: “Let’s be honest, Faisal. I don’t think that your neighborhood would ever actually have a safe injection site. I mean, you live in a gated community in Porter Ranch.” — City attorney candidate Marina Torres, responding to her opponent Faisal Gill, at a recent candidate forum on homeless. Gill argued in favor of facilities where drug users can safely inject heroin or other substances.
