Transcription

Election

Hayden criticized Riordan for ignoring the environment and for not debating with him while Riordan criticized Hayden for his voting record as a State Senator.[4][5] Polls showed Riordan leading Hayden, with most of his support being from white people and Republicans.[6] The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor pulled their support from Riordan and took a neutral stance for the two.[7] In the election, Riordan won outright against Hayden and three other candidates.[8]
