Election Filing Deadline Today, Knabe Unopposed

Today is the deadline to file for most offices for the June primary election.

The deadline will be extended to Wednesday for offices in which the incumbent is not running for re-election, except for those where the incumbent cannot seek re-election because of term limits, and Superior Court judgeships.

In Los Angeles County, the ballot will include races for District Attorney, where incumbent Steve Cooley has announced that he will not run for re-election, and seats on the Board of Supervisors held by Mike Antonovich, Don Knabe and Mark Ridley-Thomas.

Deputy District Attorneys John L. Breault III, Alan Jackson and Jackie Lacey have completed the filing process for district attorney, according to information provided by the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk.

Additional candidates, including City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, are expected to complete filing by Wednesday's extended deadline.

No one has filed to oppose Knabe. Both Antonovich and Ridley-Thomas have each drawn one little-known challenger. Raj Pal Kahlon has filed to run against Antonovich and Antonio Alvarez has filed to run against Ridley-Thomas.
