In addition to the two seats on the Beverly Hills Unified School District, several other key races on the Nov. 8 ballot impact readers in and around Beverly Hills. As the Courier goes to press, West Hollywood City Councilmember Lindsey Horvath and State Senator Bob Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) are neck and neck in the race to replace Sheila Kuehl as the Los Angeles County Supervisor representing the 3rd District. According to results released late in the day on Nov. 10 by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, Hertzberg holds a narrow lead of some 1,646 votes over Horvath. In the highly-contested Los Angeles mayoral race, real estate developer Rick Caruso maintains a slim lead of 2,695 votes against Rep. Karen Bass.
The Supervisorial race specifically impacts Beverly Hills, which is part of the expansive 3rd District. The Board of Supervisors oversees the county’s massive budget and touches nearly everything the county operates, from jails to homeless services to parks.
