Set up to serve the City of Los Angeles’ 42nd Mayor, Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Mayor’s Office consists of seven offices focused on key priorities, including public safety, economic opportunity, economic development, budget and innovation, city services, international affairs, and homelessness. Each office oversees associated departments and interdepartmental initiatives, programs, and grants.

Mayor Garcetti’s first term began July 1, 2013 and he was reelected in 2017 with 81% of the primary vote. His second term ends December 31st, 2022 – 18 months longer than his first term due to a change in citywide election dates.
