LOS ANGELES—Marqueece Harris-Dawson was sworn in as City Council president Friday, succeeding Paul Krekorian in a ceremony marked by a standing ovation and the passing of the gavel, as he leads the 15-member council in addressing homelessness, housing goals, and policies affecting nearly 4 million Los Angeles residents.
Harris-Dawson is expected to lead the council until December. After that, a new council, once established with at least one new member, will conduct another vote for council leadership.
