Yaroslavsky will replace termed-out Councilman Paul Koretz.
Yaroslavsky was a senior policy adviser for LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, and comes from a family with roots in politics. Her father-in-law, Zev Yaroslavsky, served on the City Council for nearly two decades, and her mother was Kuehl's district director when Kuehl was in the state Assembly. Yaroslavsky touted her experience working at the county level as a plus. She believes that council members can be "parochial" at times, and said she would entertain citywide approaches on solutions regarding homelessness, public safety and climate change.
Yaroslavsky said Yebri ran a "hard-fought campaign" and thanked his supporters for their engagement and participation. She supports not having homeless encampments next to schools or daycare centers, but believes the city's 41.18 ordinance would be more effective if it were paired with services and engagement. There aren't enough resources to fully deploy the ordinance, she said.
Yaroslavsky was inspired to run for office when sitting behind Kuehl at a meeting with officials from various cities in which she had done a lot of prep work.
