The 1921 Los Angeles mayoral election took place on June 7, 1921. Incumbent Meredith P. Snyder was defeated by George E. Cryer.[1] It was the last time Snyder ran for Mayor.
Municipal elections in California, including Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.[2]
Incumbent Democratic mayor Meredith P. Snyder had previously been elected in 1919 and was running for a fourth term.[3] He was challenged by Republican George E. Cryer, who attacked Snyder for being corrupt and was supported by the Los Angeles Police Commissioner and the Los Angeles Times.[4] [5] Cryer stated that he was a non-politician and would conduct the business of Los Angeles "like any other business... quietly, effectively, efficiently."[6] Former city councilmember Boyle Workman also challenged Snyder for the seat.[7]
