The 1977 Los Angeles mayoral election took place on April 5, 1977. Incumbent Tom Bradley was re-elected over nine other candidates. He was mainly challenged by State Senator Alan Robbins and tax policy activist Howard Jarvis, with Robbins campaigning on his opposition to busing in the "city." Bradley was widely expected to easily win re-election, and on election day, Bradley won by a landslide against the other candidates.
Municipal elections in California, including the Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.
