The five-member Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will be getting at least one new face by year's end, with Supervisor Sheila Kuehl opting against a reelection bid for her District 3 seat, and six candidates vying to fill the void.
will be getting at least one new face by year's end, with Supervisor Sheila Kuehl opting against a reelection bid for her District 3 seat, and six candidates vying to fill the void.
The battle is anticipated to be a three-horse sprint among Horvath, Stern and Hertzberg, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the November general election."As a mayor and council member, I have taken action to successfully get 80% of my community's unhoused population off the streets and into housing and services," Horvath wrote in her official candidate statement.
He also condemned what he called "a vicious cycle of hospitalization and incarceration for unhoused Angelenos facing mental illness and addiction.""Los Angeles has been offered a false choice: between safer streets and an anti-racist, restorative justice system," according to Stern's website. "Investing in alternatives to incarceration through drug courts, social work, and street medicine should not mean that violent crime is without consequence.
Hoge said she would "root out corruption" in county government, saying "too many backroom deals and big money players have dictated terms for too long." She also said she would be an advocate for public safety and work to clear streets of homeless encampments. "My priorities continue to be mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, expanding affordable housing and healthcare for all, creating good- paying local jobs, improving access to parks and open space, enhancing veterans' services, and making our neighborhoods safer through community based crime prevention," Solis said in her official candidate statement.
