(Update) #25: Alright folks - Brian's out for a couple weeks on a trip of a lifetime. Check out the last episode in the feed if you want to hear all about it. Don't worry, we're gonna have two full weeks of fresh new episodes for y'all. But to kick the week off, we're revisiting an episode from last fall that is just as relevant now as it was then... With a new special election to replace Nury Martinez in City Council District 6.
To follow the election and the candidates, check out this article on LAist.com: https://laist.com/news/politics/la-city-council-district-6-special-election  

The L.A. City Council has a LOT of power... But how do their decisions actually affect the lives of Angelenos? And how is it determined what areas of L.A. they control? HTLA host Brian De Los Santos is looking for answers. He speaks with Caitlin Hernández, a reporter for LAist who's been been following the City Council and the fallout from the leaked tape scandal.
Also, don't forget -- there's an election happening. If you live in L.A. city, there are four council seats on the ballot. 
Guests:Caitlin Hernández, LA explained reporter for LAistJosé Del Rio, political consultant active in the 2021 redistricting process.
