The 2022 Los Angeles mayoral election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the
mayor of
Los Angeles, California . A
top-two primary was held on June 7, 2022. Candidates could win the election outright by receiving more than 50% of the vote, but no candidate received a majority.
[1] More than forty candidates formed committees to run. Twenty-seven filed their declaration of intention to collect signatures for the ballot, and of these twelve qualified.
Incumbent Mayor
Eric Garcetti was ineligible to seek a third term due to
term limits but was serving an extended second term due to a law moving election dates from an "
off-year election " to a
midterm and statewide election year .
[2] In July 2021, Garcetti was nominated to become
United States Ambassador to India .
[3] If Garcetti left office before his mayoral term ended, the
Los Angeles City Council would have appointed an interim replacement to finish the remainder of that term.
[4] This nomination was stalled in the Senate, leaving Garcetti to finish his term.
U.S. Representative
Karen Bass and real estate developer
Rick Caruso advanced to the general election. On November 16, Bass was declared the winner becoming the first woman, as well as the second black, mayor of Los Angeles.

Primary
Campaign
Bass launching her bid for mayor at
LATTC , 2021.
With an open race for mayor, Karen Bass announced that she would retire from Congress and run for Los Angeles mayor.
[40] Bass was widely seen as the favorite frontrunner with other moderates and progressives polling much lower and divided amongst themselves. The wide lead led to speculation that Bass would have been able to avoid a runoff all together.
[41] Real estate developer Rick Caruso had announced that he would run after speculation in past races and polled in the single digits. However, during the spring of 2022, Caruso saw a surge of support rivaling that of Bass.
[42]
As the primary neared, many prominent candidates dropped out and endorsed the two frontrunners, Bass representing the
progressive element of the race and Caruso representing the
moderate element.
[43] This had been shown with two former mayoral candidates:
Joe Buscaino , a
City Councilmember , endorsed Caruso, and
Mike Feuer , the
Los Angeles City Attorney , endorsed Bass.
[44] Councilmember Kevin de León also had significant support but lagged behind Bass and Caruso,
[45] and ultimately did not advance to the general election.
[46]
Debates
On December 12, 2021, the Stonewall Democratic Club hosted a forum with candidates Bass, Feuer, Lall, and Greiwe. Buscaino and de León cancelled last minute due to scheduling conflicts.
[47] On February 22, 2022,
Loyola Marymount University alongside Spectrum News 1 hosted the first formal debate between candidates, with Caruso absent because of a scheduling issue.
[48] During the debate, protesters started
heckling them, resulting in them attempting to rush the stage near the end of the debate.
[49]
[50]
On March 22, 2022,
FOX 11 along with the
Los Angeles Times hosted a debate at the
University of Southern California with Bass, Buscaino, Caruso, de León, and Feuer.
[51] Although most of the other candidates attacked Caruso, many people said that Caruso had won the debate.
[52]
On April 28, 2022,
ABC7 announced that they would be hosting a debate at
California State University, Los Angeles with the top five leading candidates.
[53] In response to the list, candidates Craig Greiwe, Alex Gruenenfelder Smith, Gina Viola, and Mel Wilson criticized their exclusion at the debates and the organizers.
[54]
[55] Candidate Ramit Varma later released a statement criticizing his exclusion at debates.
[56] During the Sunday debate, police removed
Melina Abdullah , a professor at Cal State LA and
Black Lives Matter founder, as well as other protesters from the room as they did not have a tickets to the event.
[57]
The issues talked at the debates were
homelessness , the
COVID-19 pandemic in the United States , crime, and
climate change .
