1990 Lynwood Mayoral Election (Straight Outta Lynwood)

The 1990 Lynwood Mayoral Election was held on Saturday, November 3rd, 1990. Democratic nominee, incumbent Alfred M. Yankovic was re-elected to a second term as mayor, defeating city council member, Republican nominee Louis J. Heine, and consumer activist, Green Party nominee Ricardo Sanchez. This election also marked the start of the Green Party being a major party, in fact, in 1991, it became the second biggest party in Lynwood, behind the Democratic Party.

Alfred M. Yankovic, the front-runner of most of the primary, easily rewon the Democratic party nomination, only facing token opposition thanks to a period of economic growth during 1990 and the fact that very few candidates who ran for the nomination, while city councilor, Louis J. Heine defeated businessman Brooks Evan and political journalist Randell Smith, for the Republican nomination. In the Green party, activist Ricardo Sanchez became the first Green party nominee to run for mayor in Lynwood.
