WASHINGTON (AP) β It’s hard to miss Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in the crowd of conference delegates.
He seems to be everywhere β meeting the constituents, pressing the flesh, oozing the charm in the lobby, hallways and bars of a Washington hotel. There he is at a reception in downtown Washington, exchanging pleasantries and business cards with everyone around him.
This is no ordinary political campaign, though. It’s the real launch of Garcetti’s quest to bring the Olympics to Los Angeles in 2024.
Garcetti and Los Angeles bid chairman Casey Wasserman have been in the thick of the action during a gathering of the Association of National Olympic Committees, a conference which has brought more than 1,200 delegates from 200-plus countries to the nation’s capital.
