While acknowledging that ballots are still being counted, Los Angeles City Councilwoman Heather Hutt, looking at a seemingly insurmountable lead in her race for the 10th District seat, stopped just short Wednesday of flat-out declaring victory.
“…I’m deeply grateful for the overwhelming support from the 10th District,” Hutt said in an email to her supporters,”
“Our historic campaign has been humbling and inspiring as I became the first woman and first Black woman elected to this seat,” she added. “This achievement proves what we can accomplish when working together for our communities’ future.”
Meanwhile, former Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian, also holding a big lead in his race for the 2nd District seat, told supporters over the weekend that he’s “confident that with the strong backing we’ve secured, we are on the path to victory.”
Hutt led her challenger, attorney Grace Yoo, by 26.18%. Hutt has 49,401 votes, or 63.09%, while Yoo has 28,900, 36.91%, according to figures released Tuesday by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.
Nazarian was solidly defeating business owner and political newcomer Jillian Burgos with a 6,632-vote lead.
Nazarian has 43,409 votes, 54.08%, while Burgos 36,856 votes, 45.92%.
It was unknown how many ballots remain to be counted in both council districts.
Hutt’s and Nazarian’s races are the only remaining council contests not officially decided. Councilman Kevin de León conceded defeat on Friday to progressive challenger Ysabel Jurado in the District 14 race.
Hutt was appointed to the District 10 seat in 2022 after her predecessor, Mark Ridley-Thomas, was convicted on federal corruption charges. The district consists of Arlington Heights, Koreatown, Mid-City, Palms, South Robertson, West Adams and Wilshire Center.
Nazarian is set to succeed the termed-out Paul Krekorian for the 2nd District seat, representing the East San Fernando Valley neighborhoods of North Hollywood, Studio City, Sun Valley, Valley Glen, Valley Village, Van Nuys and Toluca Lake.
Nazarian was Krekorian’s chief of staff from 2006 to 2012 before being elected to the Assembly.
Representatives for Burgos or Yoo’s campaigns did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
