Sen. Tom Hayden May Run For L.A. Mayor

State Sen. Tom Hayden is laying the groundwork for a possible mayoral run.

In a 16-page pamphlet, the 1960s radical and former husband of Jane Fonda accuses Mayor Richard Riordan of ignoring problems in the inner city and says Los Angeles is ready for new liberal leadership.

“No one has played the conductor’s role on the gravy train more than Richard Riordan,” the brochure said. “While spending billions on boondoggles, the mayor has been inattentive to the needs of the inner city.”

Riordan, a Republican, was elected in 1993.
