 2022 LOS ANGELES MAYORAL ELECTION

Every four years, the voters of Los Angeles have an opportunity to elect a community leader to fill the highest role in the city: Mayor. Not only does the Mayor of Los Angeles have significant influence within the City of Los Angeles, the surrounding region, and the State of California, this role also commands national attention and the individual elected to serve as Mayor can position Los Angeles to lead on issues affecting the entire country.

With 1 in 10 Angelenos identifying as AAPI, CAUSE is producing this series for the AAPI community around the upcoming Los Angeles mayoral election. This series shares information on the Mayoral election, resources to learn more, and ways to get engaged.

It is critical that AAPI community advocates get engaged in this election and make their voices heard in every way possible. Start by making sure you are registered to vote and your information is current so you receive your mail-in ballot. Then, learn about the candidates for Los Angeles Mayor below.

This page will be continuously updated leading up to the November 8th, 2022 Midterm Elections.

MAYORAL CANDIDATE VIDEO SERIES

CAUSE produced a video series highlighting the top five leading mayoral candidates (as of Feb 2022): Congresswoman Karen Bass, Los Angeles Councilmember Joe Buscaino*, real estate developer Rick Caruso, Los Angeles Councilmember Kevin De León*, and Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer*.

CAUSE Executive Director Nancy Yap interviewed each of the candidates on topics including housing, public safety, and economic recovery.

The interview topics were selected from a community survey CAUSE conducted to gauge which issues matter most to the AAPI community. This is the only interview series that directly asks the top mayoral candidates specifically how their plans and administration, if elected, would address these critical issues in relationship to the AAPI community and ensure that the AAPI community is represented in their administration.

Jeepney Rides to Vote Center in Los Angeles Eagle Rock
Mobile Vote Center Opened until 9PM at the Haunted Little Tokyo Block Party

Los Angeles, CA - October 21, 2024  -- Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment (CAUSE) is partnering with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office to bring an official Mobile Vote Center to the largest Halloween party in Little Tokyo, the 8th Annual Haunted Little Tokyo Block Party. This Vote Center will have later hours than typical Vote Centers, staying open until 9pm PT. The later hours combined with the proximity to a community block party that draws thousands of people annually, is meant to create a fun and accessible voting experience for younger voters, a voting age block that often has lower voter turnout nationally.
