As of March 11, incumbent Los Angeles City Councilman David Ryu had secured 46.16% of the votes cast in the Council District 4 race, with challenger Nithya Raman winning 39.44% of the votes. Challenger Sarah Kate Levy won 14.4% of the votes.
“Councilmember Ryu is proud of winning the most votes so far and of building a powerful coalition of community members, organized labor and Democratic Party activists. At the moment, it is still too early to call the final results of the election, with vote-by-mail ballots still arriving to the County Registrar’s office … We are optimistic that Councilmember Ryu will continue to serve the 4th Council District in his second term,” said Daniel Eyal, spokesman for the Ryu campaign, in an email.
If the results hold, Ryu and Raman will face off in a runoff election on Nov. 3.
In the Los Angeles County District Attorney race, incumbent Jackie Lacey has 49.94% of the vote, just short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff against challenger George Gascón, who has 27.66% of the vote, or Rachel A. Rossi, who has 22.4%. If no one reaches 50%, the top two candidates advance to the Nov. 3 runoff.
In the Beverly Hills City Council race, incumbents Lili Bosse and Dr. Julian Gold continue to be the top two finishers with 4,243 and 3,132 votes, respectively. The closest challenger is Lori Greene Gordon has 2,537 votes.
