Lomita to ask voters to approve sales tax increase this fall Los Angeles County, California, is holding general elections for county supervisor districts 2, 4, and 5, district attorney, and superior court judge on November 3, 2020.A primary was scheduled for March 3, 2020. The race to represent District 4 on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in the March 3 election pits a well-known incumbent against an attorney promising a fresh approach.Whoever wins will be tasked with helping lead the county through several problems, among the biggest in the Fourth District being the homeless crisis.The supervisors control a $36 billion budget and make key decisions related to various agencies and services, such as the jails, child welfare, foster care, economic development and homeless services.District 4 includes Marina del Rey, the coastline of the South Bay, San Pedro, Wilmington and Palos Verdes Peninsula areas; it also includes cities in the southeastern portion of the county, such as Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, Whittier, Bellflower, Paramount and Downey.Hahn, like the rest of the board, has spent much of the last four years working on the county’s burgeoning homeless problem.Among her accomplishments, Hahn, who lives in San Pedro, has cited the passage of Measure H, approved by voters to provide funding for wrap-around services in homeless housing developments, and work to provide money for street outreach to veterans in Long Beach, mobile shower programs and beds for a temporary homeless shelter set to open up March 2 in San Pedro.Hahn also has focused on opening up new Mental Health Urgent Care Centers and expanded efforts to utilize county property for emergency shelters, she said in a statement.Her statement also noted Hahn has taken on local refineries for pollution and invested “in creative solutions to cleaning our air and water.” Other issues have included initiatives for advanced stroke treatment and assisting Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers.In an email, Washington said she believes she “can do better” to address the concerns of L.A. County residents and that the current leadership has “dropped the ball.”Homelessness, she said, is on the rise despite new taxes and spending that have not benefited the homeless.
