District 2Maria Brenes for L.A. Unified school boardVoters in District 2 — which encompasses downtown L.A., Los Feliz, Highland Park, Boyle Heights, El Sereno and East L.A. — have two good choices: Maria Brenes, the executive director of East L.A. advocacy group InnerCity Struggle; and Rocio Rivas, policy deputy to school board member Jackie Goldberg. District 4Nick Melvoin for L.A. Unified school boardVoters in District 4 — which includes Hancock Park, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Encino, Tarzana and Woodland Hills — don’t have inspiring options. District 6Kelly Gonez for L.A. Unified school boardIncumbent Kelly Gonez was seen as a reform/charter candidate when she first won office in 2017. Among other things, she had a hand in tripling the number of dual-language programs in the East Valley, which she represents. The area had relatively few such programs compared with the rest of the school district.
