Many thought this race was Greuel's to lose. Now, it's turning into a close contest.

The race for mayor of Los Angeles hit a key turning point over weekend, with a series of rapid-fire announcements from Wendy Greuel's campaign.  She shook up her campaign team and hastily arranged a Sunday night endorsement from a prominent African American leader. Many thought this race was Greuel's to lose. Now, it's turning into a close contest between Greuel, who is city controller, and City Councilman Eric Garcetti.  For the latest on the race for mayor, we turn to KPCC's Frank Stoltze.
