Government

San Fernando Valley contains five incorporated cities — Burbank, Glendale, San Fernando, Hidden Hillsand Calabasas — and part of a sixth, Los Angeles, which governs a majority of the valley. The unincorporated communities (Census-designated places) are governed by the County of Los Angeles.









When it comes to politics ...










"The Los Angeles city section of the valley is divided into seven city council districts: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12. Of the 95 neighborhood councils in the city, 34 are in the Valley. The valley is represented in the California State Legislature by seven members of the State Assembly and five members of the State Senate. Thevalley is divided into five congressional districts. It is represented in Congress by senior figures from both parties including Representative Brad Sherman (D), Representative Henry Waxman (D), RepresentativeHoward Berman (D), and Representative Howard McKeon (R). In the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, it is represented by two supervisorial districts"(Wikipedia).



"The San Fernando Valley, for the most part, tends to support Democrats in state and national elections. This is especially true in the Southern areas which include the cities, of Burbank, Glendale, Sherman Oaks, and the affluent north side of the Hollywood Hills. The politics lean more and more to the right as the valley progresses North. San Fernando Valley contains five incorporated cities — Burbank, Glendale, San Fernando, Hidden Hillsand Calabasas — and part of a sixth, Los Angeles, which governs a majority of the valley. The unincorporated communities (Census-designated places) are governed by the County of Los Angeles"(Wikipedia).
