Video: Why Wendy Greuel Is Running for Mayor

In her campaign to become L.A.'s first woman mayor, Wendy Greuel is on a speaking tour of Neighborhood Councils talking about her efforts to reduce the cost of city government.

Greuel's campaign website calls her the "Pothole Queen." 

"L.A. has had a black mayor, a white Republican mayor and a Latino mayor. Maybe it's time to have a woman," GOP consultant Allan Hoffenblum told Rick Orlov, political reporter at the Los Angeles Daily News.

Greuel talked to Sherman Oaks Patch Editor Doug Kriegel in this accompanying video interview.
