1933 Los Angeles mayoral election
The 1933 Los Angeles mayoral election took place on May 2, 1933, with a run-off election on June 6, 1933. Incumbent John Clinton Porter was defeated by Frank L. Shaw , a Los Angeles County Supervisor , in the runoff election.[1] During the election, Shaw's citizenship was questions as his birth records could not be located.[2]
Municipal elections in California, including Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.[3]
Election [ edit ]
Incumbent John Clinton Porter announced that he would be running for re-election.[4] He was challenged by Los Angeles County Supervisor Frank L. Shaw , former Mayor George E. Cryer , and State Assemblymember Charles W. Dempster .
During the election, Shaw's citizenship came under question, as he had been born in Warwick, Ontario , Canada , and his birth records were not found.[5] Because of his birth records, a complaint was filed to try to prevent him from becoming mayor, asserting that he was still only a citizen of Canada and not a citizen of the United States.[6] [7] In the runoff election, Shaw beat Porter by a comfortable margin.[1]
