Campaign kickoff season has begun in Beverly Hills, with City Council candidates Myra Demeter and Alissa Roston holding events on Dec. 17. As is customary, the kickoffs attracted enthusiastic supporters to balloon-festooned homes for the chance to mingle with fellow residents, city officeholders (current and former), grab a cup of coffee and listen to the candidate. This year, 10 candidates have entered the City Council race for the two seats being vacated by Mayor Dr. Julian Gold and Councilmember Lili Bosse.
