Mayoral candidate Kevin de León talks with campaign staff and volunteers at his campaign headquarters on Saturday. With just over a week to go, he’s trying to catch front-runners Rick Caruso and Karen Bass. In 2005, Antonio Villaraigosa trounced Mayor Jim Hahn, taking more than 80% of the Latino vote and roughly half of both the Black and white vote. He figures that if he can nail down 60% of the Latino vote, he’s got a shot. “I still think Kevin will get the largest part of the Latino vote,” said Fernando Guerra, who runs Loyola Marymount’s Center for the Study of Los Angeles.
