For our 15th episode, we chopped it up with Rob Quan to breakdown every Los Angeles City Council race for this Tuesday's primary.

Paul Krekorian is termed out, so who’s in the running to replace him? Will Nithya Raman withstand a well funded challenger in Ethan Weaver? Does Heather Hutt actually have what it takes to win an election? Will Staffer B aka John Lee survive a late challenger in Serena Oberstein? Will racist Kevin de Leon make it past the primary or will CD14 decide it’s time for him to move on? We answer all these questions and more during this special City Council primary episode!

Rob Quan is a recovering cynic. He got started in politics working his way onto the Obama campaign in 2008 and after working on a few more campaigns found it was hard to find candidates worth electing, even harder to get them elected, and then once in office they'd be stuck in a corrupted system. He's been organizing Unrig LA since 2018, which serves as a local watchdog advocating for a better LA City Hall that represents the many, and not just the moneyed.
