Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer announced on March 9 that he will be running for mayor of Los Angeles in 2022. Fellow Democrat Eric Garcetti will be forced out of office by term limits at that time.

Feuer told the Los Angeles Times that his campaign will focus on homelessness and housing, saying that he wants “to bring the values of service, integrity, standing up for people, changing the world, to the mayor’s office.”

Feuer has been serving as the city attorney since 2017. Prior to that, he served as a Democratic state assemblyman from 2006-12 and on the Los Angeles City Council from 1995-2001. Feuer has also served as the director of Bet Tzedek Legal Services, which provides legal aid to the poor, elderly and disabled in accordance with Jewish law.
