Richard Riordan, the moderate Republican multimillionaire who won two terms as mayor in Democrat-friendly Los Angeles following the city’s 1992 riots, has died. He was 92.
“Mayor Richard Riordan loved Los Angeles, and devoted so much of himself to bettering our city," Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement late Wednesday. “I extend my deepest condolences to all who loved and looked up to Mayor Riordan. May he rest in peace.”
