Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, 3rd District, is considering running for Los Angeles mayor in 2026, according to a spokesperson from her office. Though Horvath has already opened her re-election campaign for a second term as county supervisor, she has not ruled out a mayoral campaign.

“The supervisor, whenever people ask her to consider something, she takes it seriously,” the spokesperson said.

Horvath was elected to a four-year term on the board of supervisors in 2022 after serving as the mayor of West Hollywood and a City Council member. As supervisor, Horvath authored L.A. County’s homelessness emergency declaration, led the development of the Los Angeles County Water Plan and helped expand county government. In 2023, she also became the board’s youngest-ever chair.

If Horvath runs for mayor, she will face against current Mayor Karen Bass. Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council board member Asaad Alnajjar has also declared his candidacy. Real estate developer Rick Caruso, who was defeated in the 2022 mayoral race by Bass, has not announced a candidacy for either mayor or California governor, though he is widely speculated to run for either office.

Horvath, a former West Hollywood resident who now lives in Los Angeles, has yet to make any official announcement regarding a mayoral run.
