| Info | Former LA City Councilman
Nick Pacheco's commitment to his community has kept him close to Boyle Heights. Nick still lives in the same house where he took his first steps as a child. The city holds countless memories of each significant milestone in his life. Nick attended local schools, and graduated from Loyola High School in 1982. The only time he left Boyle Heights was to attend college. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies and Chicano Studies from the University of California at Berkeley in 1988. After returning home, he attended Loyola Law School, and in 1994, Nick received his law degree.
Despite his professional successes, Nick refused to trade his home in Boyle Heights for life in the suburbs. His vision for the future always included the place where he grew up. His goal: to make District 14 the kind of place where people are proud to live. Nick has concrete ideas for improving the district. He is dedicated to three goals: fighting crime, drugs and gangs; fighting for good paying jobs, and fighting for increased city services.
