Marisa Alcaraz for City Council.
She fights for real change.
Marisa Alcaraz, a proven advocate for the working families of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles, is the candidate for L.A.’s vacant 6th City District who fights for real change.
Marisa, a single mom who was born and raised in the Valley in a working-middle-class family, is the woman behind the scenes who brings communities together to successfully:
- champion landmark policies such as the $15 Minimum Wage and Hero Pay for frontline workers.
- work to build hundreds of affordable and permanent supportive housing units and bring a homelessness prevention program to the City.
- secure tens of millions in park funding to repair and upgrade parks.
- improve basic city services from tree trimming and sidewalk repair to safer streets.
With her experience as an advocate for workers and as Environmental Policy Director, Marisa Alcaraz will be able to hit the ground running to help bring about a new era for Council District Six and the LA City Council—one that is about unity and equity, about building up our neighborhoods and communities, empowering our youth, and being better leaders for the next generation to follow.
Marisa’s parents brought her up to value public service and to be an active member of her community. That’s what led her to pursue her fight for change at City Hall, where she has been working on policies that address environmental, social, and economic justice, and standing up for working-class families like hers. And that, combined with her integrity and experience, will make her a Councilmember who will bring about the change we need at City Hall.
This perspective candidate embodies the very definition of the American success story, continually setting the standards of excellence while expanding their interests in real estate, sports and entertainment. She is a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance.

The Armenian National Committee of America’s (ANCA) San Fernando Valley Chapters has endorsed our campaign for Los Angeles City Council District 6.
“We are proud to endorse Marisa Alcaraz for Los Angeles City Council, and look forward to working together to ensure the voice of the San Fernando Valley’s vibrant Armenian-American community is represented at city hall,” remarked ANCA San Fernando Valley – East co-chair Dr. Avo Babian. “Alcaraz demonstrated a commitment to representing the interests of the Armenian-Armenian community – from ensuring support for local small businesses, addressing the disturbing uptick in hate crimes against local communities, as well as expressing support for Artsakh’s right to self-determination amid Azerbaijan’s brazen aggression.”
Thank you for your confidence and trust as we move District 6 forward.
As an LA City Council senior policy advisor, I’m proud to have helped develop and execute the largest Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) pilot program in the nation. It gives me great satisfaction to see that this initiative dramatically improved the lives of working-class and immigrant families. It’s a great reminder of the need to provide social safety nets for our most vulnerable populations.

Team Alcaraz is pumped to have received the endorsement from the Ironworkers Local 433.
Your support and confidence in me is greatly appreciated and I look forward to working together to make the greatest impact for our CD 6 residents and families.
My grandfather James Eberle served in the Army during World War II. Growing up he would share black and white photos of him and his friends from his time in the war. When he passed, many of these photos came to me and I have some hanging in the halls of my home to always remember not just my grandfather, but all those who serve.
On Memorial Day, let us remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
The 18,000-member strong International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 12 is officially in Team Alcaraz’s corner. This latest endorsement is a testament to my more than decades-long dedication rising up for working families throughout LA.
As our movement continues to gain speed, we see a light at the end of the tunnel for a brighter future filled with incredible promise. Let’s keep up the fight to the very end!
Recently I had the distinct honor of meeting with his Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America, who bestowed a blessing upon me. As the youngest Armenian Cleric to have been elevated to the rank of Archbishop, it was an incredibly special and unique face-to-face experience.
I feel invigorated in my responsibility to address human suffering and aim to advance human rights everywhere. Elected leaders have a great obligation to understand the complexities and sensitivities within diverse communities, including our large Armenian-American population in Los Angeles.
I stand firmly committed to breaking down barriers, being a beacon of hope for our District 6 families and a light for justice and truth. I will continue to stand-up on behalf of people of all ethnicities and backgrounds by working closely with community leaders and push forward policies and initiatives that strengthen our culturally rich city.
Thrilled to announce that Team Alcaraz has earned the support from a fierce advocate for education, Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) Trustee Andra Hoffman.
As the representative for Los Angeles Valley College, Los Angeles Pierce College and Los Angeles Mission College, Ms. Hoffman, who was elected President of the California Community College Trustees for the 2023-24 Board, has committed herself to fighting for equitable access to education and working to improve educational systems for San Fernando Valley families.
Education is the foundation for progress, and I look forward to working together to ensure everyone has access to the education they need and deserve without question.
I am proud to have earned the endorsement from the Asian Democrats of Los Angeles County and grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside this respected organization as a committed ally for the Asian Pacific Islander community.
I am dedicated to using my platform to uplift the voices of our diverse communities and celebrate inclusion and the unique contributions made to our great city.
We are feeling energized after an incredible turn out at our Team Alcaraz 2.0 kick-off event this morning!
Thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such amazing, positive energy to the room.
