Traci Park Secures Decisive Reelection Victory in LA City Council District 11 with Nearly Two-Thirds of the Vote

Los Angeles, CA - Incumbent Councilmember Traci Park cruised to a commanding reelection victory in the June 2, 2026, primary for Los Angeles City Council District 11, capturing approximately 64.8% of the vote and avoiding a November runoff.

With a substantial lead over challenger Faizah Malik (who received roughly 35.2% ), Park surpassed the 50% threshold needed for an outright win under the city's election rules. As of the latest reported counts, Park had garnered more than 35,000 votes compared to Malik's approximately 19,000.

District 11 covers key Westside neighborhoods including Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Sawtelle, Venice, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, Westchester, and areas near LAX. Park, first elected in 2022, positioned her campaign around public safety, homelessness enforcement, and practical governance - themes that clearly resonated with voters.

In her victory remarks, Park credited her strong performance to voter validation of her priorities. "It confirms that we have been right on the priorities and the results have spoken for themselves," she said.

Park significantly outpaced her opponent in fundraising, raising about $1.3 million compared to Malik's roughly $540,000. Malik, a public interest attorney endorsed by the Los Angeles chapter of Democratic Socialists of America, focused on housing justice and progressive reforms.

This decisive result stands out amid a broader primary in which several LA City Council incumbents performed strongly, helping them avoid tougher general-election fights. Park's near two-thirds support signals strong backing in a district known for its mix of affluent homeowners, coastal communities, and urban challenges.

Ballot counting continues in Los Angeles County, but Park's lead is insurmountable. Official certification is expected in the coming weeks. Full results are available at the LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's website (results.lavote.gov) and the City Clerk's portal.

Park will be sworn in for her second four-year term in December 2026. Her reelection reinforces moderate and results-oriented voices on the LA City Council as the city grapples with ongoing issues like homelessness, housing development, and public safety.
