Councilmember John Lee

John Lee was elected to the Los Angeles City Council on August 30, 2019. Running in a crowded field of 15 candidates, John’s deep knowledge of both the Twelfth Council District and the City Hall enabled him to quickly rise to the top as a leading contender in the race. As a CD12 resident of over 40 years, John found his passion for public service when he first began volunteering for local nonprofits at age 13. A lifelong public servant, John has been serving this community his entire adult life. His extensive understanding of the City’s legislative and budget processes and day to day operations gives him tremendous insight into what works and what doesn’t at City Hall. John is committed to making government work better for CD12 residents.
