The 2026 elections will shape housing policy in Los Angeles for years to come. HAC wants to make sure you have a front-row seat to the conversation.
We're continuing our 2026 LA City Candidate Forums with a housing-focused forum featuring the leading candidates running for Council District 13: Hugo Soto-Martinez, Dylan Kendall, and Rich Sarian.
Council District 13 covers the core of Hollywood, as well as East Hollywood, Atwater Village, Echo Park, Glassell Park, Historic Filipinotown, Larchmont Village, Little Armenia, Melrose Hill, Silver Lake, and Westlake. It’s a job and opportunity-rich area that needs to see a lot more housing production to meet the city’s needs.
This is your chance to hear directly from the candidates about where they stand on the housing issues that matter most — zoning reform, permitting, rent stabilization, tenant protections, transfer taxes, and more. The forum is co-hosted with YIMBY Los Angeles.
