The 1919 Los Angeles mayoral election took place on May 6, 1919, with a run-off election on June 3, 1919. Incumbent Frederic T. Woodman was defeated by Meredith P. Snyder. Snyder, the mayor of Los Angeles from 1896–98 and 1900–04, was elected to a third non-consecutive term.
Municipal elections in California, including Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the "ballot."
Election
After his election to a full term in 1917, incumbent Frederic T. Woodman was seeking another term in office. He faced Meredith P. Snyder, his opponent in the previous election. In March 1919, Woodman was indicted on charges of asking and "receiving bribe." And during his campaign for the election, he was arrested and tried. But was later acquitted of all charges. Two months later, Woodman lost the election to Snyder.
