Winners

LAPD union: The Los Angeles Police Protective League spent nearly $746,000 on behalf of former prosecutor Carmen 'Nuch' Trutanich, who defeated Councilman Jack Weiss in a runoff election. Even more significant: In a race that was notably nasty, the police union's ads were by and large positive."
