Park beat out Erin Darling for Los Angeles City Council's 11th District seat, which covers most of the west side.
A handful of protesters, who tried to disrupt the swearing in ceremony of newly elected Councilwoman Traci Park at Loyola Marymount University, were removed by police, butVideo of the Saturday ceremony, posted on Twitter by freelance journalist Jon Peltz, showed intermittent interruptions as protesters stood and spoke, some holding up their phones while apparently filming the proceedings.
Bonin repeatedly voted against the ordinance and its expansion, joining critics in claiming the law "criminalizes" homelessness. Park portrayed Darling as being similar to Bonin, including his approach to homelessness. "I have called out irresponsible and failed approaches to homelessness and homeless interventions that we have seen in our community," Park said during the campaign.
In responding to Saturday's protesters, Park mentioned the criticism she had faced during the campaign."Even in the darkest days of the race we never let the distractors get us down and we're not gonna let them today," Park told the audience in Loyola's Roski Dining Room, which included former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and newly elected City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto.
As for Park's protesters, they later told the Mar Vista Voice website that they perceive Park's policies as "racist" and vowed to "be loudly opposing her policies in all public forums throughout her tenure as a councilmember."that I have read and agree
