Garcetti:
Greuel:
An election was held on March 5, 2013, to elect the mayor of Los Angeles. No candidate received a majority of the primary votes to be elected outright, and the top two finishers, Eric Garcetti and Wendy Greuel advanced to a runoff vote. On May 21, 2013, Garcetti was elected mayor with a majority of the votes in the runoff.
Municipal elections in California are officially non-partisan but candidates receive support and endorsements from their respective parties or affiliated organizations.
Incumbent mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was ineligible to run for re-election because of term limits.
Nonpartisan primary

Campaign
Both the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Daily News suggested that the fiscal state of Los Angeles would likely play a major role in the election. Also a question was the role that Villaraigosa's popularity would play; in 2009 his support was seen as more of a liability than an asset.
