Resolution Criteria
This market resolves to the candidate who wins the 2026 Los Angeles City Council election for District 11. If the election is not held, the market resolves N/A. In the unlikely event of redistricting between now and the election, this market will follow District 11 even if the number of seats changes.
Background
- Traci Park is the current incumbent for Los Angeles City Council District 11, which includes communities such as Venice, Mar Vista, Westchester, and Playa del Rey. 
- Park has already launched her reelection campaign for the 2026 election. 
- In her previous campaign, Park received significant financial support, including backing from the LA Police Protective League. 
- District 11 has historically been competitive, with issues like homelessness, public safety, and development being key concerns for voters. 
- Los Angeles City Council elections typically follow a two-round system where if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in the primary election, the top two candidates advance to a runoff election.

- Local political dynamics and voter sentiment can shift significantly over time. 
- Performance of the incumbent during their term will likely influence voter decisions.
