BREAKING L.A. City Council votes to appoint Heather Hutt to fill Mark Ridley-Thomas' seat for remainder of term
The Los Angeles City Council is expected to decide whether to appoint Heather Hutt to fill out the remainder of former Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas' 10th District seat.The Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday to appoint Heather Hutt as councilwoman for the 10th District to fill out the remainder of former Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas' term, following Ridley-Thomas' recent conviction on federal corruption charges.
Council President Paul Krekorian had previously announced his intention to have Hutt -- who had been filling the seat on a temporary basis -- appointed by the council to serve out the remainder of the unexpired term, which runs through December 2024. That vote happened Tuesday -- but it came with a measure of opposition, as some local civil rights leaders are calling for a special election instead."Heather Hutt has capably represented the district as the temporary appointee and I am confident she will continue to do so as the permanent appointee," Krekorian told City News Service.
"The council must end the effective disenfranchisement and caretaker role it has assigned the thousands of residents of the district since Thomas' suspension," Hutchinson said at the time.
