Homeless Activist Hayes to Enter Mayoral Race
Homeless activist Ted Hayes has filed documents announcing his intent to run for mayor of Los Angeles, city records show.
Hayes, 37, filed a declaration of Intent to Solicit and Receive Contributions for the 1989 mayoral race on Wednesday. Hayes said he filed the documents to try to draw attention to his homeless agenda, which calls for allowing street people to remain in makeshift settlements and providing portable toilets to improve conditions on Skid Row.
Tom Bradley’s press deputy, Fred MacFarlane, said the mayor welcomes the competition.
