Mayor, City of Inglewood

Reelected to a fourth four-year term last year, Butts has been riding a
wave of confidence amongst his constituents and what one media outlet
called “an uncommon renaissance” for the city of 110,000. Three
professional teams will call the city its home once the NBA’s Clippers
finish their arena in 2024. It will be down the street from the NFL’s
Rams and Chargers base at SoFi Stadium, which repurposed the former
Hollywood Park Race Track property. Before moving into politics,
Butts served 19 years on the Inglewood Police Department and was
the chief of police in Santa Monica for 15 years.
