In a statement released Friday night, Horvath said she decided after “much prayer and many honest conversations” with her family, friends and political allies.Horvath thanked supporters who had encouraged her to enter the mayoral race, saying their outreach reflected a shared belief that Los Angeles is ready for bold, new leadership. “I’ve never been afraid to take on the status quo or those who protect it. That's why you elected me to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and why we have been able to bring historic change to how it works,” Horvath said in a statement. Horvath said the work of the county is unfinished and argued that many of the region’s most pressing challenges, including affordability, compassion in governance, and long-term resilience, extend beyond city boundaries. “The challenges facing our region do not adhere to city limits, and neither should our ambition,” she said. “LA County needs leadership willing to act with urgency, work at scale, and fight for a more affordable, more compassionate, and more resilient future.”Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, cost of living and more.
