L.A. on the Record: Will Krekorian take the plunge?

If City Council President Paul Krekorian, center, decides to run for Congress, the decision could shake up the legislative body. But there’s another politician still considering a run — someone whose decision would have serious repercussions for City Hall: Council President Paul Krekorian. Krekorian’s former Chief of Staff Areen Ibranossian, who now runs a public affairs firm, said the council president is looking at getting into the race “in a serious way.” Such a move would almost certainly generate calls for Krekorian to step down from his leadership post, sooner rather than later. State of play — MORE MAYORAL HIRES: Mayor Karen Bass’ top leadership team is continuing to take shape, with Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission Executive Director Brian K. Williams named as deputy mayor for public safety and Tejon Ranch Co. Senior Vice President Rachel Freeman named as deputy mayor for business and economic development. — MORE TINY HOMES: L.A. officials celebrated the opening of the city’s 11th tiny home village — this one in the Sun Valley section of what used to be former Council President Nury Martinez’s district.
