Hydee Feldstein Soto declares she’s a winner in LA City Attorney race that pitted a moderate against a progressive.
Hydee Feldstein Soto has declared victory in the race for Los Angeles City Attorney on Wednesday, Nov. 16. She has 57% of the Nov. 8 vote, far ahead of her opponent Faisal Gill.She was ahead of Gill by more than 85,000 votes in Wednesday’s update from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, holding a 57% to 43% advantage. Feldstein Soto, who practices finance law, will replace termed-out City Attorney Mike Feuer.
Feldstein Soto, elected for a four-year term, could set the pace for the city’s approach to homelessness, affordable housing, public safety and other pressing issues. Feldstein Soto had criticized Gill for accepting federal PPE money supplied to struggling businesses during the pandemic, while he was funneling cash into his campaign. She called it “not completely trustworthy.”
In one argument she made against Gill, she said his outlook on the limited powers of the city attorney’s office were not always based in reality. “When he says he’s going to prosecute police officers for excess force or city council members for corruption — he can’t do that,” she said, explaining the strict limitations on the Los Angeles City Attorney. “The city attorney can’t sue his own client.”
