In addition, elections were held for the Superior Court, along with two ballot measures.
Municipal elections in California are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.
Board of Supervisors
Two of the five seats of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors were up for election to four-year terms. Incumbent supervisors Hilda Solis handily won re-election in the primary. In the third district, incumbent Sheila Kuehl Supervisor Sheila Kuehl opted not to run for a third term, and instead chose to retire. State senator Robert Hertzberg West Hollywood City Councilor Lindsey Horvath advanced to the general election, eliminating state senator Henry Stern, Roxanne Beckford, Craig A. Brill and Jeffi Girgenti. Horvath narrowly defeated Hertzberg in the general election.
Sheriff
Incumbent Sheriff Alex Villanueva ran for re-election to a second four-year term. He was first elected in 2018, defeating incumbent Jim McDonnell with 52.8% of the vote. Villanueva has been a controversial figure since then, including his refusal to enforce vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic in California, as well as investigations regarding unconstitutional policing, obstruction of evidence, and the persistence of deputy gangs. However, he is also credited with reforms in the department, including the implementation of body cameras and the removal of ICE agents from county jails.
