Northridge East NC Election Candidate Filing Period is Open

Dear Northridge East Neighbors,

Consider running for a seat on the Northridge East Neighborhood Council. Neighborhood Councils are a hyperlocal form of government that work to ensure the City of Los Angeles is responsive to the needs, challenges, and aspirations of YOUR neighborhood.

As a Neighborhood Council Board Member, you can advocate for issues that matter most to you and your neighbors, advise your City Councilmember and other City leaders, and contribute to positive change in your community.

You can directly influence issues like homelessness, affordable housing, public transportation, public safety, local development, small business development, city services, and so much more!

WHO CAN RUN?
Participation is open to those who live, work, rent or own property, worship, attend school, own a business within a Neighborhood Council’s boundaries, or are a vested community stakeholder. The minimum age to run is 18 years of age, while youth seats are open to those between 14 to 17 years of age. Unlike many other elected positions, the Neighborhood Council system is open to those who are system-impact, non-US citizens, and our unhoused neighbors.
