2024 Los Angeles County elections

Three of the five seats of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors were up for election to four-year terms. Incumbent supervisors Holly Mitchell, Janice Hahn and Kathryn Barger handily won re-election in the primary. == District Attorney ==

Incumbent district attorney George Gascón was first elected in 2020, unseating two-term incumbent Jackie Lacey in a publicized election seen as a victory for criminal justice reform in Los Angeles. Gascón's tenure has been characterized by his liberal and progressive policies, such as opposition to capital punishment in California and reopening cases of officer-involved shootings. As a result, a series of recall efforts have been made against Gascón, and his office has received backlash from law enforcement groups and some of the families of violent crime victims.

The debate saw each challenger focusing their attacks on him. Ramirez blamed Gascón for his "refusal to prosecute," while Mitchell declared that the county has become less safe. At one point, an attendant booed Gascón as he spoke. General Polling Primary Runoff Results == Ballot measures ==
