Measure FD Passes, Bringing New Funding to LAFD

Los Angeles voters have approved Measure FD, an initiative to increase the city’s sales tax by 0.5%, which goes toward funding the Los Angeles Fire Department. The measure, which passed with 53.7% of voters in favor, will raise the city’s sales tax rate from 10.25% to 10.75%. Angelenos voted in support of the additional funding following years of concerns surrounding the department’s resources, staffing and ability to respond to emergencies across the city.

Tourists photograph it from afar, filmmakers use it as shorthand for dreams, and even those who have never visited Los Angeles can conjure its image immediately.

The Becerra era and Raman’s ‘earthquake’ in LA

TRANSITION BEGINS — In the five months between Xavier Becerra ’s come-from-behind primary victory and his general election win, he and his circle could deflect questions about his coming administration. California can only have one governor at a time, they said, and he wasn’t taking anything for granted. But now that voters have officially made him their next governor, everyone in Sacramento is racing to get some answers about what comes next: Who will Becerra hire and appoint? Which interest groups will be ascendant? What policies will he prioritize? The lobbyists, union officials and legislative leaders at his victory party offer some hints. Among the VIP’s circulating in West Sacramento were Becerra team members, including campaign hands Robbie Abelon, Kyle Layman and Lindsey Cobia — an erstwhile top Gavin Newsom deputy — and unofficial counselors like Arsenio Mataka, a former aide from Becerra’s attorney general days who focused on environmental issues. As we’ve noted elsewhere , Becerra’s sphere also includes adviser Courtni Pugh, longtime aide Liz Saldivar, veteran politico Karen Skelton, and policy adviser Nicole Elliott (another Newsom alum).

Incumbent Derek Tran (D) defeated Chuong Vo (R) in the general election for California's 45th Congressional District

Incumbent Derek Tran (D) defeated Chuong Vo (R) in the general election for California's 45th Congressional District on November 3, 2026. The election took place in the context of redistricting that changed the boundaries of the 45th District from those used in the 2024 election. Inside Elections' Nathaniel Rakich said, "[The district] adds a few more Democratic areas of Los Angeles County to go from D+1 to D+5, although it should remain competitive; the Republican candidates for attorney general, controller, and treasurer in 2022 all would have carried the new version of this seat."
