LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles City Councilmember-elect Hugo Soto-Martinez is heading to City Hall with what he says is a clear mandate to enact bold, progressive policies on housing, homelessness, transportation and other issues.
Soto-Martinez, who won his race by more than 10,000 votes, said the Nov. 8 election showed that residents in his Hollywood district want fewer police officers and more mental health teams — and an end to laws that force homeless people to relocate from designated areas.
"Progressives won the day," he said.
