Los Angeles City Races

Mayor

Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is seeking a second term against City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a former ally who has become one of her most vocal critics.

City Attorney

Voters chose between John McKinney, a longtime Los Angeles County prosecutor, and Marissa Roy, a deputy state attorney general, after incumbent City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto was eliminated in the June primary.

City Council

Two City Council seats were on the ballot.

With Councilman Bob Blumenfield termed out, voters in the western San Fernando Valley's District 3 chose between businessman Tim Gaspar and longtime government aide Barri Worth Girvan.

Los Angeles City Ballot Questions

Measure TE would exempt owners of homes damaged or destroyed in the 2025 Palisades Fire from the city's "mansion tax" if they sell their properties within five years of the fire.

Measure LA would overhaul several aspects of city government, including establishing a two-year budget cycle, requiring long-term infrastructure planning and changing how public works projects and city contracts are managed.

Measure PL would replace LA's seven area planning commissions with a single citywide appeals commission and change how certain land-use and development decisions are reviewed and approved.

Los Angeles County Ballot Questions
