Los Angeles' municipal candidates want Angelenos to ring in the new year by donating to their campaigns. Midnight is the deadline for this fundraising cycle.
When the clock strikes midnight, it won’t just be a chance to part with 2012.
Candidates for city office in Los Angeles hope it’s a chance for you to part with your cash.
Today is the last day in this cycle to donate to candidates running for mayor, city controller, city attorney and the Los Angeles City Council. This round of fundraising numbers will be posted to the Ethics Commission's website on Jan. 10.

Councilman Eric Garcetti, also a candidate for mayor, emailed this poem to his supporters Monday:
