2005 Los Angeles mayoral election Turnout 33.94%
The 2005 Los Angeles mayoral election took place on March 8, 2005, with a run-off election on May 17, 2005. In a rematch of the 2001 election , Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa defeated the sitting mayor, James Hahn , becoming the city's first Hispanic mayor since the 19th century.[1]
Municipal elections in California, including Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.[2]
Background
[ edit ]
Philanthropist Eli Broad endorsed Hahn. State Senator Gil Cedillo , Councilman Eric Garcetti , and Councilman Cindy Miscikowski , who all endorsed Villaraigosa in 2001, switched sides and endorsed Hahn.[3]
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger promised Hahn that he would not participate in the election. As such, Schwarzenegger did not endorse any candidates, however he has expressed broad support for Hertzberg's plan to break up the Los Angeles Unified School District . His Education Secretary, and former mayor of Los Angeles, Richard Riordan campaigned heavily for Hertzberg.[4]

Although Villaraigosa garnered the plurality of votes in the general election, his lack of an outright majority forced a special election between him and the incumbent Hahn. With less than 34% of registered voters participating, Villaraigosa won the runoff.
With his election, Villaraigosa became the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles since 1872.[3] Sam Yorty lost to Tom Bradley in the 1973 Los Angeles mayoral election .[5]
