Mitch O’Farrell has built a solid reputation of improving the quality of life for constituents in the 13th Council District. His plans include creating opportunities for more affordable housing; reforming City policy to help small, neighborhood businesses drive the local economy; and working with his colleagues, the Mayor, and the entertainment industry to halt runaway production.
The Councilmember’s district is the most diverse in the city, including the neighborhoods Atwater Village, East Hollywood, Echo Park, Elysian Valley, Glassell Park, Historic Filipinotown, Hollywood, Mid-Wilshire/Koreatown, Rampart Village, and Silver Lake.
Mitch began his public service in 2002 under the leadership of then Councilmember Eric Garcetti. Mitch’s experience as a field deputy, district director, and senior advisor to the former City Council President have given him the experience to make government work better for people across the 13th District.
Mitch was elected to office on May 21, 2013 to succeed now Mayor Eric Garcetti as the Councilmember of the 13th district. The newly elected councilmember held a ceremonial swearing-in event at Marsh Street Park on Saturday June 29 2013, and started his term on July 1.
Mitch is deeply passionate about giving back to his community and preserving local habitats and open space. He has held leadership positions in several non-profit organizations such as the California Wilderness Coalition, and the Santa Cecilia Orchestra, an organization that provides after-school classical music lessons to children in the Los Angeles Unified School District. He also volunteered for Project Angel Food, delivering hot meals to those who are home bound and living with HIV.
Mitch’s great appreciation for the environment and his surroundings come from his rural upbringing in Oklahoma. Mitch lived on a small farm until the age of 7 when he moved to the city. By living in the countryside and in the city, Mitch has developed a keen perspective on the values and needs of both rural and urban lifestyles and peoples.
As a member of the Wyandotte Native American tribe, Mitch was sworn into office by Wyandotte Nation Chief Billy Friend along the LA River on June 29th, 2013, and officially with the Mayor and his newly elected Council colleagues on June 30, 2013.
In addition to the rest of the 13th Council District, Mitch understands the importance of Hollywood, its history, and
its brand as a unique one-of-a-kind destination place for the rest of the world.
Mitch is working to enhance Hollywood’s reputation as a world class neighborhood to live, do business, and visit. It is an economic driver for the rest of Los Angeles as the entertainment capital of the world and a worldwide destination for tourists.
The Councilmember is also deeply passionate about --and plans to tackle-- the degradation of the environment. He believes that Los Angeles, as a community, must take responsibility at the local level in order to help relieve global environmental damage. He plans to help the community realize the consequences that their actions may have on the rest of the planet and ultimately attain a greater level of consciousness regarding the environmental crisis. Mitch wants to ensure that Los Angeles becomes a leader in the protection and preservation of the environment and wildlife.
One of Mitch’s most important projects is the LA River, the birthplace of Los Angeles, and a representation of the city’s future and the endless possibilities it presents. The LA River was Los Angeles’ main water source up until one hundred years ago when it was channelized during the Great Floods and later neglected due to the beginning of the automotive age. Mitch believes that the LA River project will enable Angelenos to re-orient themselves to the river and enjoy the natural landmark recreationally, aesthetically as well as economically.
Mitch and his partner, George Brauckman, live together in Glassell Park with their dog, Arthur. As an avid animal lover, Mitch plans to make animal welfare one of his main concerns during his time in office. His great respect and passion for animals has always been a significant aspect of his life. Mitch strongly believes that in order to become better human beings we must learn to be humane and treat animals with the respect and care that they deserve.
As an openly gay councilmember, Mitch plans to work with the Gay and Lesbian Center to help provide the LGBT community with strength and guidance. It is of tremendous importance to Mitch that he ensures that no gay, lesbian, transgender or questioning young person feel like he or she is alone. Mitch is determined to work with the Gay-Lesbian Center to provide services to those in the LGBT community, and to pay tribute to the great and long history of the LGBT community in the 13th District.. Mitch plans to maintain the visibility of the LGBT community and cement its place in mainstream society.

The American Indian Community Council, Inc. (AICC) is a unique non-profit 501 (c) (3)
organization that serves Native peoples of Los Angeles and Southern California. For over 15 years,
the AICC has served as a central hub and is a resource for the Los Angeles American Indian/Alaska
Native Community. The vision of the AICC is “to strengthen the overall wellness of the LA
American Indian children, families, and community through leadership development, community
organizing, self determination, and cultural values.” Our overall goal as an organization is to make
Los Angeles a better place for all people, by developing American Indian and Alaska Native leaders.
The AICC operates a number of workgroups that are created by community members who see a
need to address specific issues, problems, and concerns. These workgroups include amongst others,
an Elders’ Group, the Indian Child Welfare Act Task Force, and United Native Youth of Los
Angeles (UNYLA). The AICC welcomes all to our monthly meetings, which take place every second
Tuesday of the month. We encourage you to join us in making Los Angeles a strong leader in Indian
Country.
