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.

My deepest gratitude to my friends, family, neighbors and supporters for believing in me and my campaign for LA City Council District 6.
Winning is never a guarantee; nevertheless Team Alcaraz poured our hearts, sweat and soul into this race. We ran a robust, intentional and community-centered campaign that unfortunately fell short of the win.
Regardless of the results, I’m glad that Council District 6 will finally have representation again and the District will have a voice on the Council.
No matter the sacrifices (and there were plenty) I don't carry any regrets. While this chapter is coming to a close, my role as a public servant will not. I will continue to remain committed to my mission in giving my all to our working families no matter what capacity or the title I hold. Thank you 🙏🏼
Election day is finally here and it feels like my birthday, Christmas and the Super Bowl all wrapped into one. I’ve learned so much throughout this process about my community and why I got into public service to begin with.
I’m proud of my record delivering higher wages, fair protections for renters, a cleaner environment, safer schools and communities, and thousands of units of affordable housing that make sense for neighborhoods.
If elected, I will be the first single mom to serve on the City Council and the seventh woman at the horseshoe. Council District 6, let’s make history together. I hope I can count on your vote.
On the eve of tomorrow’s special runoff election, I was asked about my top priorities. And while I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again - homelessness, homelessness, homelessness. Here’s my plan. Let’s work together to end this humanitarian crisis once and for all!
Join Team Alcaraz tomorrow night for our official Election Night watch party!
The power of our collective voice has been hard at work during this Special Election campaign.
So bring your family, friends and neighbors to share in the excitement of the moment with me, as we come together to witness history in the making.
Over the weekend leading up to the Tuesday Special Runoff Election, I had the opportunity to attend a number of events across District 6. From our Get Out the Vote rally at my campaign headquarters, the Sun Valley Neighborhood Council community clean-up and participating in the San Fernando Valley Pride March & Block Party in Van Nuys. I also met with local neighbors at the Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park and wrapped up the weekend by attending my local Neighborhood Watch chapter.
I had the pleasure of engaging in lively discussions with incredible community leaders and neighbors, revolving around promoting safety, community involvement, and connectivity in our neighborhood. I was left feeling positive and eager to work closely with key partners so that our communities are safer, stronger, healthier and more prosperous.
With that being said, if you have not already done so, please take the time to VOTE in this important election for our Valley community and help bring about the positive change that is long overdue.
This morning my pup Gracie and I had a great time at one of our favorite community gems, the Sepulveda Basin Off-Leash Dog Park.
We connected with many of our furry friends and their human counterparts, discussing a range of topics to help enhance the park, the community and the district overall.
A tail-wagging time was had by all!
Happy to join in on the festivities this morning for the San Fernando Valley Pride event.
It’s great to see the community come together and celebrate unity, diversity, and inclusion - no hate in the 818 🏳️🌈
I’m proud to say that my campaign has not accepted any oil, gas, or coal money directly or through independent expenditure. As an Environmental Policy Director I have made it a priority to increase green spaces, options for healthy foods, the LA 100 plan and getting our City to 100% renewable energy by 2035. I pledge to continue to prioritize the health of our children and our community over corporate profits.
Thank you United Auto Workers Region 6 and its 100,000 strong members fighting for worker power and social justice.
I stand with you in your commitment to raising wages, providing healthcare benefits, and implementing protection standards for workers against harassment and discrimination.
Providing living wages and protecting workers rights is essential to ensuring employees are treated fairly and with the utmost respect.
