Ferraro Reelected Council President
John Ferraro was reelected president of the Los Angeles City Council in a unanimous 14-0 vote Wednesday and Councilman Marvin Braude retained his position as president pro tem with little rivalry.
Ferraro has been president of the council since 1987. The one-time All-American football player from USC was elected in 1966 and represents the 4th District, centered in the Wilshire area.
He served as president from 1977 to 1981 and is chairman of the council’s Intergovernmental Relations Committee.
Council members Nate Holden, Joan Milke Flores and Robert Farrell each received one vote as president pro tem, but Braude retained his seat with 11 votes.
Braude, elected in 1965, represents the 11th District, which ranges from Pacific Palisades to Encino. He is chairman of the council’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
