Barri Worth Girvan declared victory late Friday, Nov. 6, in the race for the Los Angeles City Council's 3rd District seat in the West San Fernando Valley, the Los Angeles Times reported. Her announcement came after the latest vote count showed her lead over Tim Gaspar growing.
About the district
The 3rd District includes Woodland Hills, Reseda and Canoga Park. Worth Girvan, a longtime government employee, ran on using her experience to advocate for residents, according to the Times.
Our take
She joins a council that will soon work with a new mayor, after a week in which voters also approved changes to how the council meets and how the city budgets. For West Valley residents, the early weeks are a good time to tell a new council office what your neighborhood needs.
