Burgos

In the race to replace outgoing City Councilmember Paul Krekorian representing the eastern San Fernando Valley, Nazarian had 54% of the vote as of Monday night, a lead of nearly 10 percentage points over Jillian Burgos, a small business owner and member of the NoHo Neighborhood Council.

The longtime politician raised more than $1 million during his campaign, a fraction of the amount brought in by Burgos.

Burgos, who was endorsed by a number of left-of-center groups, including the L.A. chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, had been hoping to expand the bloc of “super-progressives” who have been pushing the council to the left.

Neither Burgos nor Yoo immediately responded to requests for comment.

In the San Fernando Valley, former state Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian pulled ahead of small business owner Jillian Burgos in the race to replace Councilmember Paul Krekorian, who is departing because of term limits, early returns showed.
