Welcoming a new colleague to the Los Angeles City Council

Councilman LaBonge welcomes Councilman-elect Joe Buscaino to Los Angeles City Hall the day after Buscaino won a special-election to fill the 15th Council District seat of former Councilwoman Janice Hahn. Buscaino is a former Los Angeles Police Department Senior Lead Officer in the San Pedro area. He prevailed over former Assemblyman Warren Furutani in the 15th District race, which saw a turnout of only about 16% of the registered voters.
