When it comes to the 2024 General Election, residents of Pacific Palisades had a chance to vote on issues on a local level.

Leading up to and on Election Day, polls were open at several spaces across the community, including Palisades Branch Library, Rustic Canyon Recreation Center and Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Church.

In Los Angeles County, there were 5,736,803 registered voters and a turnout of 3,675,213 voters, as of the count on Tuesday, November 12. The LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk office estimated there were 187,300 outstanding ballots as of Monday.

In the United States Senator full term race, Adam Schiff has 65.72% of votes, while Steve Garvey has 34.28%. In the short term (unexpired term ending January 3, 2025) Schiff has 65.37% and Garvey has 34.63%.

When it comes to United States Representative for the 32nd District, which includes Pacific Palisades, incumbent Brad Sherman has received 66.42% of votes, while Larry Thompson received 33.58%.

For State Assembly, 42nd District, incumbent Jacqui Irwin has received 60.06% of the vote, while Ted Nordblum has received 39.94%.

In the race for District Attorney, Nathan Hochman has received 60.07% of votes, while incumbent George Gascón has received 39.93%.

“The voters of Los Angeles County have spoken and have said enough is enough of D.A. Gascón’s pro-criminal extreme policies; they look forward to a safer future,” Hochman wrote in a statement. “As D.A., I look forward to representing all of the people, whether they voted for me or not, since their safety will be my responsibility.”

In her weekly update email, Councilmember Traci Park relayed a message of congratulations to Hochman.

“This victory marks a pivotal moment for Los Angeles, and I’m eager for a new partner in the continued fight to restore public safety,” Park wrote. “And, with the landslide victory of Prop 36 across every county in California, we have the opportunity to prioritize rehabilitation and reduce crime by holding repeat offenders accountable. Together, we will create a safer, more just Los Angeles for everyone.”

On a county level, Los Angeles voters approved Measure A—which is designed to provide funding to address homelessness, expand affordable housing and more—with 57.43% of votes counted in favor and 42.57% in opposition.

“This is a monumental victory for the entire Los Angeles community,” The People Concern CEO John Maceri said in a statement. “The passage of Measure A will provide critical funding to ensure that our most vulnerable neighbors receive the housing, services and support they need … This measure is more than just a step forward, it is a commitment to building a more equitable Los Angeles, where everyone has access to safe housing and the support they need to thrive.”

Angelenos also voted on Measure G—officially titled the “Los Angeles County Government Structure, Ethics and Accountability Charter Amendment”—an amendment that would change the makeup of the County Board of Supervisors, increasing its seats from five to nine. The increase of seats is said “to increase representation and equity on the Board of Supervisors,” according to Measure G’s website.

Measure G was proposed by Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Janice Hahn in 2023. Los Angeles County voters approved it with 51.40% of votes in favor so far and 48.60% of votes in opposition.

“The people of Los Angeles County have made history in passing Measure G, ushering in the change necessary for a more effective Los Angeles County,’’ Board of Supervisors Chair Horvath said in a statement. “We will now have the ability to fix what is broken and deliver the results our communities are counting on, especially in the face of threats to our most vulnerable residents from the next federal administration. Through this historic change, we will address the most pressing issues facing Angelenos with greater urgency and accountability, and create a more ethical and representative government fit for the 21st century.”
