LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council on May 28 confirmed the nomination of President Pro Tem Marqueece Harris-Dawson as the next council president.
In a 14–0 vote, with Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez absent, the council selected Mr. Harris-Dawson as the next council president, which he will assume on Sept. 20. The move comes after council members Katy Yaroslavsky and Heather Hutt nominated Mr. Harris-Dawson last week. Council President Paul Krekorian plans to step down from the position by that date in a move to help transition to new leadership. Mr. Krekorian is leaving City Hall at the end of this year due to term limits.
