## City Council
### District 1

The 1st district covered mostly Northeast Los Angeles, including MacArthur Park, Koreatown, Mount Washington and Cypress Park. The incumbent was Gil Cedillo, who was first elected in 2013 and was seeking a second term. Cedillo nearly won election outright in the primary, but support for community activist and former bike store owner Joe Bray-Ali forced him into a runoff.
Bray-Ali's campaign collapsed after a series of scandals involving him surfaced. In April 2017, it was revealed by LAist that Bray-Ali had made racist, fat shaming, and transphobic comments Voat, which prompted councilmember Mitch O'Farrell and the Los Angeles Times to pull their endorsements. Despite calls on Bray-Ali to drop out, he refused to do so and apologized for the comments. Bray-Ali also admitted to having extramarital affairs and failing to pay taxes.
In the runoff election, Cedillo defeated Bray-Ali in a landslide.

### District 7

The 7th district covered Northern Los Angeles, including Sunland-Tujunga, Lake View Terrace, Pacoima and Shadow Hills. The district was the only open seat due to the resignation of Felipe Fuentes on September 11, 2016, in order to start working as a lobbyist. Former Los Angeles Board of Public Works Commissioner Monica Rodriguez and City Council staffer Karo Torossian advanced to the runoff. In the runoff election, Rodriguez defeated Torossian by seven points with the help of labor spending. Torossian did not concede the race until ten days later after results showed Rodriguez's margin of victory widening.
