    Voters in Los Angeles and San Francisco Face Tough Choices

    Eleven candidates fought it out in yesterday's primary for LA's 15th City Council District , which runs in a thin line from Watts down to San Pedro. Janice Hahn held it from 2001, until she resigned early this year to take Jane Harmon's seat in Congress. There will be a January run-off between two candidates who offer contrasts in several ways.

    Eleven candidates fought it out in yesterday's primary for LA's 15th City Council District, which runs in a thin line from Watts down to San Pedro. Janice Hahn held it from 2001, until she resigned early this year to take Jane Harmon's seat in Congress. There will be a January run-off between two candidates who offer contrasts in several ways. Donna Littlejohn, staff writer for the Daily Breeze, has more on the race and the run-off between Assemblyman Warren Furutani and LA police officer Joe Buscaino.

    Ed Lee, appointed when Gavin Newsome became Lieutenant Governor, got the most first-place votes yesterday, but did not get more than 50 percent. Rachel Gordon covers politics or the San Francisco Chronicle.
