LA Mayoral Primary Update

Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass is currently leading the Los Angeles mayoral primary, according to early results.

Reality TV star Spencer Pratt has placed second in the initial count. The race remains very close, and it appears the top two candidates will advance to a November runoff.

As a nonpartisan election, the contest has drawn considerable attention from Angelenos, with key issues including homelessness, public safety, housing, and the city’s overall recovery.

We’ll continue to monitor the results as more ballots are counted in the coming days.
