"ended weeks of speculation about her political intentions, saying her work in the county "is not finished." "Over these past few months, you have shown me all the reason you love Los Angeles -and why it's worth fighting for," Horvath said Friday in a statement. "I am grateful to the many leaders, organizations, and every single Angeleno who urged me to run for Mayor of Los Angeles.""
"Horvath's announcement, issued the night before the deadline for candidates to file, comes days after former L.A. schools superintendent Austin Beutner ended his mayoral campaign, citing the death of his 22-year-old daughter. Real estate developer Rick Caruso also removed himself from contention, saying for a second time Thursday that he would not run. The filing period for mayoral candidates in the June 2 primary closes at noon on Saturday."
Lindsey Horvath, an L.A. County supervisor representing about 2 million people across the Westside and San Fernando Valley, announced she will not run for Los Angeles mayor. Horvath said her work in the county "is not finished" and expressed gratitude to leaders and residents who urged her to run. The announcement came the night before the filing deadline for the June 2 primary and followed recent exits by Austin Beutner and Rick Caruso. Horvath has been a vocal critic of Mayor Karen Bass on homelessness and the Palisades fire response, and tensions over homeless services funding persist.
