Paul Krekorian plans to step down on Sept. 20 and is expected to leave City Hall at year’s end due to term limits.
Los Angeles City Council President Paul Krekorian talks with council member Marqueece Harris-Dawson at the council meeting at Los Angeles City Hall Wednesday, October 26, 2022. Los Angeles City Council members Katy Yaroslavsky and Heather Hutt on Friday, May 24, nominated Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson to become the next City Council president to replace current president Paul Krekorian — in a move to help transition leadership.
She added, “As we envision the next chapter for Los Angeles, I am confident that Councilmember Harris-Dawson’s presidency will build upon the strong foundation laid by Council President Krekorian.” Yaroslavsky expressed her “deep gratitude and appreciation” for Krekorian, who has led the city through challenging times. She noted that Krekorian’s leadership “steadied” the council and city through crises and complexities as they emerged from COVID-19 and several political scandals.Earlier this week, Krekorian wrote in a letter to his colleagues, including Mayor Karen Bass and City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto, notifying of them his plans to step down as council president.
