L.A.'s three-way mayoral primary tests the city's direction

LA mayoral race roils as filing deadline nears

With the noon filing deadline looming, Los Angeles’ mayoral race is in unusual flux: former schools chief Austin Beutner dropped out, Lindsey Horvath remains undecided, and Rick Caruso briefly flirted with a bid before declining. New contenders such as Adam Miller, Spencer Pratt, Rae Huang, and Maryam Zar are weighing or entering the race, while Bass’s handling of the Palisades fire has weakened her position. Donors appear to be waiting to see who jumps in, making a runoff highly likely in a crowded field.
