"Fourteen Angelenos have qualified to run for mayor, including incumbent Karen Bass, City Councilmember Nithya Raman and former reality TV star Spencer Pratt. Seven City Council incumbents face at least one challenger, while Councilmember Monica Rodriguez is running unopposed to represent her northeast San Fernando Valley district."
"City Atty. Hydee Feldstein Soto is running against three opponents - deputy attorney general Marissa Roy, human rights attorney Aida Ashouri and Deputy Dist. Atty. John McKinney. In the race for city controller, incumbent Kenneth Mejia will battle it out against Zach Sokoloff, who is on sabbatical from his job as senior vice president of asset management at Hackman Capital Partners."
"Gathering the required 500 signatures is relatively easy in citywide races but harder in council and school board districts. Some candidates who submitted petitions by the March 4 deadline failed to qualify because some of their signatures were deemed invalid."
Los Angeles has finalized its candidate list for city and school board offices ahead of the June 2 primary election. Fourteen mayoral candidates qualified, including incumbent Karen Bass, City Councilmember Nithya Raman, and Spencer Pratt. Seven City Council incumbents face at least one challenger, while Monica Rodriguez runs unopposed. City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto competes against three opponents, and City Controller Kenneth Mejia faces challenger Zach Sokoloff. The City Clerk's Office verified voter signatures submitted by candidates, with 500 signatures required for citywide races. If no candidate achieves over 50% in June, the top two finishers advance to a November runoff.
