Marco Santana

Marco, a born and raised resident of Los Angeles City Council District 6, is running to represent his community. He has worked as the Director of Engagement for LA Family Housing, where he helped connect more than 12,000 Angelenos with housing and services to end homelessness. Additionally, he has served on the board of the Mid-Valley YMCA and ICON CDC, providing resources and training to empower local small businesses. Marco has also held leadership positions in the democratic process, serving as Controller of the Democratic Party San Fernando Valley and Vice President of the San Fernando Valley Young Democrats.

As a first-time candidate, Marco is committed to bringing attention and resources to the Valley, which he feels has been forgotten at City Hall. He plans to use his experiences working with constituents, non-profits, and community-based coalitions to bring solutions that house the unhoused and create more inclusive neighborhoods. Marco's goal is to unite the community and create a brighter future for all.
