Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath Thursday officially launched her re-election campaign for a second term to represent the Third District, representing more than 2 million residents.
In 2022, L.A. County voters in the Third District elected Horvath, who succeeded former Supervisor Sheila Kuehl.
The district covers 446.08 square miles and stretches from the Ventura County line to West Hollywood and the city of San Fernando, including portions of 10 cities, 26 unincorporated communities and 49 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
“I’m running for re-election because we must keep pushing for bold, transformational change across Los Angeles,” Horvath said in a statement.
“Fighting for the people of L.A. County has been the honor of my life,” Horvath added. “I believe we must keep pushing Los Angeles County forward, so together, we can reach our full potential.”
Horvath’s campaign touted her accomplishments in her first term such as the following:
— Led wildfire debris cleanup in Pacific Palisades following the Palisades Fire in January 2025;
— Delivered $55 million in direct aid to wildfire survivors, workers, small businesses and nonprofits;
— Declared L.A. County’s local emergencies on immigration and homelessness;
— Protected taxpayer dollars by holding Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority accountable and pulling funding after repeated audits revealed mismanagement; and
— Passed the county’s first ethics and governance reform in 100 years and launched a Governance Reform Task Force to implement Measure G, which voters approved in November 2024, among other things.
Her campaign noted Horvath has received early endorsements from U.S. senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, as well as union groups SEIU Local 721, SEIU Local 2015, Unite Here Local 11, and the L.A. County firefighters union International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1014.
She also received endorsements from Jane Fonda Climate PAC and CA Women’s List, among others.
Horvath was born in Painesville, Ohio. She studied at the University of Notre Dame and graduated with a bachelor of arts in political science and gender studies.
In 2019, Horvath was appointed to the West Hollywood City Council after the death of City Councilman Sal Guarriello. In 2011, Horvath lost her re-election campaign to the West Hollywood City Council to John D’Amico.
West Hollywood voters elected Horvath back onto the council in March 2015, when she defeated incumbent John Heilman.
Horvath was mayor of West Hollywood in 2015, and again in 2020.
