Ysabel J. Jurado is an American housing rights advocate and politician who is the member of the Los Angeles City Council for the 14th district. A member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America, Jurado defeated incumbent Kevin de León the 2024 general election, becoming the first person of Filipino descent elected to the City Council. Her victory was largely attributed to de León's role in the 2022 Los Angeles City Council scandal.
