This story features Beeline Reader for enhanced readability. Click to turn the feature on or off. Learn more about this technology here.

The winners of Districts 2, 4 and 5 will join a five-member board that oversees a county of about 10 million residents, more than the population of most states.

A Note On The Results

OFFICIAL RESULTS

The California Secretary of State's Office certified the final vote tallies on April 12, marking an official end to the March 5, 2024 Primary Election.

Voter Game Plan will be back in the fall to help you prepare for the Nov. 5 General Election.

District 2

The District 2 race is the first since the district’s new boundaries were finalized in late 2021. One critical issue in much of District 2 is housing affordability, as once-affordable communities like Inglewood rapidly gentrify. Homelessness, public safety, and transportation are also key here, as are issues of equity and access to services.

About the candidates

Clint Carlton: Carlton has a background in nonprofit community service. He is CEO and founder of Safe Squad Inc., an online safety platform for children and seniors.

Daphne Bradford: Bradford is an education consultant, entrepreneur and community organizer. She was honored as a White House Champion of Change during the Obama administration for her work providing STEM training to K-12 students. 

Katrina Williams: Williams did not respond to LAist's request to participate in the Voter Game Plan.

Holly J. Mitchell: Mitchell currently serves on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors representing District 2. She was elected to the board in November 2020. 

Follow the money

District 4

The District 4 race is the first since the district’s new boundaries were finalized in late 2021. One critical issue in much of District 4 is housing affordability, as once-affordable communities are rapidly gentrifying.

Alex Villanueva: Villanueva served as sheriff of L.A. County from 2018 to 2022, when voters declined to give him a second four-year term. Before being elected sheriff, he was a deputy sheriff for more than 30 years.

District 5

The District 5 race resulted in incumbent Supervisor Kathryn Barger, the board’s sole Republican, winning a third and final term. As with other parts of the county, issues like housing, homelessness, and transportation are important ones in this district.
