DescriptionAllies of James K. Hahn have launched the first ad in the race for mayor of Los Angeles, a radio commercial designed to bolster Hahn's support among African American voters.

The commercial, paid for by the Service Employees International Union, began running last week on KKBT-FM, (100.3) a radio station that is popular with African American listeners.

Hahn won the mayor's office in part because he had strong backing from African Americans. In the June 2001 runoff against former Assembly Speaker Antonio Villaraigosa, Hahn won 80% of the black vote, according to a Times exit poll.
