The most interesting headline from yesterday’s countywide election was:

• Mayor Garcetti skated to an 81 percent victory over 10 opponents whose vote total would not have added up to a candy bar purchase?
• Measure S’s onesided defeat, which cast a pall over worried residents of South Central while thrilling unrestrained developers?
• Measure H’s required barely two-thirds victory in a tax bump that is supposed to fund a fresh round of services for the homeless but easily could get bogged down or derailed?
• Shrugging off a still bubbling potential scandal about allegedly being married to two women simultaneously, Los Angeles City Councilman Curren Price hammered Los Angeles Times-endorsed Jorge Nuno, 63 percent to 23 percent?
• A. City Councilman Pail Koretz was supposed to be in trouble, but he breezed past Jesse Creed, 66 percent to 31 percent?
• Westside Councilman Mike Bonin scored a runaway with 70 percent?
• Steve Zimmer (47 percent to 31) and Monica Garcia (57 to 32) handily retained their chairs on the LAUSD School Board?

Unlike four years ago when Mr. Garcetti claimed the mayor’s chair over a high-profile field, he didn’t have to campaign this time. While he drew 10 rivals, none was a threat, even if Mr. Garcetti had left town. The city attorney and city controller did not have any opposition.

What ever happened to prominent persons challenging incumbents?

In the remaining L.A. City Council races, Gil Cedillo, unopposed Bob Blumenfield, Monica Rodriguez, Mitch O’Farrell and Joe Buscaino were successful.

Two of Los Angeles city’s most important officers, City Atty. Mike Feuer and controller Ron Galperin, ran unopposed.

In three Los Angeles Community College District races, Gabriel Buelna easily defeated Nancy Pearlman, 59 percent to 41, Steven Veres scored a wide win over Steve Goldstein and Ernest Moreno defeated Dallas Denise Fowler

Kelly Fitzpatrick-Gonez prevailed in the third LAUSD School Board race.
