LA500: James Butts Jr.

Mayor, City of Inglewood

Butts was elected mayor of Inglewood in 2010 and was reelected in 2014, 2018 and 2022.

A new home for the Clippers, called Intuit Dome, is under construction and expected to open this year. Both Intuit Dome and SoFi Stadium will host part of the 2028 Summer Olympics, including the opening and closing ceremonies at SoFi. Butts spent 19 years on the Inglewood Police Department and was Santa Monica’s police chief for 15 years.
