A warning for those running for office. 1. Don't pander to unions; ie, IBEW/DWP. Folks look at theirRead More DWP bill and think, hmmmm is this bill going to be higher 2. Keep outside folks like Clinton and Boxer out of local elections. It's suppose to be a nonpolitical office (even though we know it isn't) but what it does do is piss off those that might consider voting for one over the other. 3. Don't pander to women. Guys vote also so all the talk about the first woman mayor may be okay, but don't make it a big platform item. There you have it all free of charge.

Yea! Let the gentrification of Los Angeles began. Garcetti has already been responsable for overRead More 13,000 Latinos being pushed out of their neighborhoods and counting; yet, he goes around pretending to be a Latino. I guess I better get ready to pack my bags because little old working class me don't deserve to live here and its a matter of time before a developer push me out.

All I want is a Mayor who will not march in a parade of illegals. There was nothing more insultingRead More than hearing that your Mayor is celebrating the cause of one of our biggest financial problems...supporting the illegals. The DWP thing bothered me also. They are out of control, so that negative advertising did bother me about her alliance with them. But I really did want Wendy Gruel to win, but didn't really care all that much, as long as they were not hispanic, because we saw what happened with Villairagosa.

Its is now almost 3 AM and only 20% of the precints in CD3 have reported their votes!!!! (CD 3 isRead More the south/west SF Valley) while most CD's have reported 80-90%!!!! What is the problem??? This seems very strange!

Such censorship on this thread tonight...Just confirms my feelings that candidate who ran theRead More sleaziest campaign and remained without a platform lost the mayor's race tonight....

When it says the Los Angeles Times 'endorses' someone or something does that mean they took a voteRead More of all employees working at the Times or is it just a meaningless blurb by a small coven of inflated corporate propagandists kissing A with the Federal government or some other powerful special interest influence?

My sincere congratulations to Eric Garcetti on winning the Los Angeles mayoral elections. It was aRead More long hard work to get here. You deserve the chance to reinvigorate Los Angeles to its glory days and an economic recovery that will benefit all Angelenos. Now the work begins, to build team Garcetti and implement a new successful administration with honesty and integrity. YJ Draiman, LA’s primary Mayoral Candidate for LA 2013
