20 Questions for Mayoral Candidates Hear in LA

Wanna know what Karen, Nithya and Spencer think? Ask them these questions and pay attention to their answers

  1. What is the address of City Hall, and what comes to mind when you think about that building?

  2. How did the Dodgers get their name, and who is your favorite LA Dodger?

  3. How did the Lakers get their name, and who is your favorite Showtime Laker?

  4. Should the president of the United States be able to send military troops to Los Angeles without a request from both the mayor of LA and the governor of California?

  5. What percentage of the city budget should go to the LAPD over the next four years?

  6. Tell us your favorite place to eat in the Valley, DTLA, and south of the 10.

  7. When was the last time you took public transportation just because?

  8. Other than Central Library, what is your favorite library in Los Angeles?

  9. What was the last book you read that you wished would never end?

  10. What is your favorite movie theater in the city of LA, and what did you see there?

  11. Who ultimately decides which stars are placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which sits on public sidewalks, and would you encourage that body to vote on removing Trump’s star, as many are asking for?

  12. If you could convince the LAPD and LASD to allocate 3% of their budgets to Metro so all Angelenos could ride for free, would you?

  13. What has been your fondest memory in Los Angeles over the last 10 years?

  14. Lakers and Dodgers players and managers are required to make themselves available to the press after every game. Being mayor is a far more important job. Would you be willing to hold weekly, one-hour press conferences with the press for the next four years?

  15. To raise money for the city, would you support an app that lets Angelenos submit photos of illegally parked cars in their neighborhoods, and if an infraction is confirmed and the fine is paid, the money is split between the resident and the city?

  16. Over the last 12 months, the LAPD has cost the city more than $50 million in payout claims. It consistently leads all other departments in this category. Do you believe those settlements and judgments should be taken directly out of the LAPD budget when the department is found to be at fault?

  17. Autonomous delivery robots and vehicles like Waymos may be fascinating, but they are taking money from Angelenos who are doing everything they can to make ends meet. Would you support letting Angelenos vote on whether to ban them within city limits?

  18. Should parking fees at lots like those at Dodger Stadium and the Coliseum have a $30-per-vehicle cap?

  19. If you were to commission a statue of someone who contributed greatly to Los Angeles, who would it be, and where would it go?

  20. High gasoline prices are getting more Angelenos interested in electric vehicles. Would you support installing Superchargers and other charging devices in city parking lots, with prices capped at just 10% above what LADWP is charging at that hour?
