There was one word on the lips of most voters in Los Angeles on election day.
Change.
“We need a change,” said Alex Escobar, a teacher, who voted in Van Nuys early Tuesday for Republican Steve Hilton for governor.
Escobar has voted Democrat in previous elections.

“The state of California has got to change. The city of Los Angeles has got to change.”
