= District 1
=The 1st district covered mostly Northeast Los Angeles, including MacArthur Park, Koreatown, Mount Washington and Cypress Park. The incumbent was Gil Cedillo, who was first elected in 2013 and was seeking a second term. Cedillo nearly won election outright in the primary, but support for community activist and former bike store owner Joe Bray-Ali forced him into a runoff.
Bray-Ali's campaign collapsed after a series of scandals involving him surfaced. In April 2017, it was revealed by LAist that Bray-Ali had made racist, fat shaming, and transphobic comments Voat, which prompted councilmember Mitch O'Farrell and the Los Angeles Times to pull their endorsements. Despite calls on Bray-Ali to drop out, he refused to do so and apologized for the comments. Bray-Ali also admitted to having extramarital affairs and failing to pay taxes.
In the runoff election, Cedillo defeated Bray-Ali in a landslide.
