Koretz to run for L.A. Council
Termed out of his office last year, Former Assemblyman Paul Koretz announced Thursday he plans to run for the Los Angeles City Council in the seat to be vacated by Councilman Jack Weiss.
Koretz, a former councilman in West Hollywood, said he now lives in the Beverly-Fairfax area and has long wanted to run for the Los Angeles City Council in the area.
“When I was 19, I thought about running for the City Council in the fifth district, but I ran for the school board instead,” said Koretz, who was termed out of his Assembly seat last year.
Former City Controller Rick Tuttle also has said he is interested in running for the seat.
Weiss has announced he plans to run for City Attorney in 2009.
