The only busier contest in June is the mayoral election, where more than three dozen candidates filed papers to challenge incumbent Karen Bass.
Saturday at noon was the deadline for candidates to register campaigns with the LA City Clerk. Candidates still need to gather signatures on nominating petitions in order to officially get on the ballot.
