On March 3, 2015, residents of the city’s 10th Council District which includes part of Koreatown will be voting for their councilmember.
The seat is currently occupied by Councilmember and Council President Herb Wesson, who was elected to represent the 10th Council District in a Special Election in November 2005 and is serving his second full term. If reelected, Wesson would be serving his third and final term as councilmember.
If none of the candidates receive 50% plus one of the votes in March, then the top two candidates will face off in the general election on May 19, 2015.
