Los Angeles's 8th City Council district is one of the fifteen districts in the Los Angeles City Council. It is currently represented by Democrat Marqueece Harris-Dawson since 2015 after winning an election to succeed Bernard C. Parks, who termed out.
The district was created in 1925 after a new city charter was passed, which replaced the former "at large" voting system for a nine-member council with a district system with a 15-member council. As the city's population expanded to the west, the 8th District's boundaries gradually shifted that way as well.
