To appear on the March ballot, candidates for the offices of Mayor, City Attorney, City Controller, Los Angeles City Council Districts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15; Member of the Board of Education for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) 2, 4 and 6; and Member of the Board of Trustees for the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) Seats 2, 4, 6 and 7 must file a Declaration of Intention to Become a Candidate. The deadline for filing the Declaration of Intention to Become a Candidate is 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Saturday, November 8, 2008.
That's the deadline Rick Caruso was talking about.
