Nury Martinez (born July 9, 1973) is an American politician who served as a member of the Los Angeles City Council for the 6th district from 2013 until her resignation in 2022. A former member of the Democratic Party, Martinez became president of the Los Angeles City Council in December 2019, after serving as the council's president pro tempore.[2] Martinez was the first Latina to become council president.[2] She was a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education from 2009 to 2013.
On October 10, 2022, Martinez stepped down from her post as council president following the release of an audio recording where she disparaged fellow council members and their children and used racist language. She remained a member of the city council, but announced that she would be taking a paid leave of absence.[3] On October 12, facing continued protests and demands to step down from community members and politicians including U.S. president Joe Biden, she resigned her seat on the council.[4]
