Photo: Diane Edwardson, March 3, 2013. In what was likely the most contentious primary race ever for City Council District 13 to succeed termed out City Councilmember Eric Garcetti (who later won the equally contentious mayor's race), registered voters were greeted by a daily barrage of campaign mailers sent by 12 candidates; most of whom were a bunch of carpetbaggers, eager to launch a political career in the liberal 13th City Council District. Yup, that's over an inch of mailers collected in my mailbox just for the City Council seat for the March 5 Primary. Even more would arrive for the run-off in May.
Stuff you missed this year: we shoot & collect tons of photos. So we try to wrap up the year with some interesting ones we never got a chance to run.
