Los Angeles voters went to the polls on June 2 for a primary election that will shape the city's leadership. The mayor's race is the top contest, with incumbent Karen Bass facing a strong challenge from Spencer Pratt and Nithya Raman.
- Mayor Karen Bass leads in polls but faces a competitive field; a runoff in November is possible. - Key city council races include the open District 9 seat and the defense of District 11 by Traci Park.
- A countywide half-percent sales tax increase for healthcare is on the ballot. - Two Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors seats are also up for election.
The outcome will determine who leads Los Angeles through the 2028 Olympics and addresses ongoing challenges like homelessness and wildfire recovery.
