Transcription

Election

During the campaign, James A. Ware criticized both Yorty and Roosevelt for favoring "federal intervention in city affairs" and "federal encroachment", while City Councilmember Billy G. Mills criticized Roosevelt for disenfranchising minority groups; McGee was criticized by Yorty for running to split the vote.[3] Roosevelt was backed by the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and AFL–CIO, criticizing Yorty on his memberships of a "racially segregated private club" and his leadership.[4][5] Yorty hit back with criticisms towards Roosevelt's spendings and outside spending for his campaign.[6][7] In the primary election, Yorty won outright and defeated Roosevelt with a majority of the vote.[1]
