Rosalind Wiener Wyman (October 4, 1930 – October 26, 2022) was an American politician, Los Angeles City Councilmember, and California Democratic political figure who, at 22 years old, was the youngest person ever elected to the Los Angeles City Council,[1][2] and only the second woman to serve there. Her City Council tenure ran 12 years, representing the city's Fifth District.[3] Wyman was highly influential in bringing the Brooklyn Dodgers from New York to Chavez Ravine, Los Angeles.[4][5][1][6][7] She helped lead the successful campaigns of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and in 2019, was reported to be California's oldest DNC delegate.[4]
She also served on the UNESCO Commission[8][5] and sat on executive boards ranging from the National Endowment for the Arts to the Los Angeles County Arts Commission[2] to the American Friends of the Hebrew University Board; she also acted as chairperson for a variety of entities, including the Community Relations Committee of the Los Angeles Jewish Community Council[7] and the National Congressional Committee Dinner.[9] She was known for having been a vigorous proponent of multi-faith religious tolerance efforts.[10]
