On April 30, 2023, the Greater Wilshire community will elect 21 board members and 21 alternates for 2-year terms on the Greater  Wilshire Neighborhood Council (GWNC.)

We have five Hancock Park residents running in this election this year. All of them would really appreciate your votes. (For each seat, both an elected board member and an alternate are elected. Voting in this election enables you to have a critical voice in this super-local election. Every vote matters as many people do not bother to vote in Neighborhood Council elections. The GWNC plays an important role in calling attention to local issues; having adequate effective representation for our neighborhood has proven to be very helpful in accomplishing our neighborhoods priorities.

Please consider a vote for the following HP candidates:

• Cindy Chvatal-Keane is running for the At-Large seat
• Jennifer DeVore and David Trainer are running for the Area 5 seat.
• Mark Alpers is running for the for the Community Interest -Non Profit seat
