Almost two dozen Southern California congressional representatives are calling for the United States Olympic Committee to strongly consider Los Angeles as the United States' host city candidate for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

U.S. Rep. Tony Cárdenas of San Fernando Valley, California is leading the pack of 21 elected state officials who are pushing for the Games of the XXXIIIrd Olympiad to be held in L.A.

In a bipartisan letter signed by 20 of his Southern California colleagues, the representatives claims that L.A. is well equipped to host the games due to its infrastructure and resources.

"Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the United States, a city whose infrastructure supports the influx of both millions of tourists and thousands of new residents each year; massive internationally-known sporting events and festivals; and which is anchored by an entertainment industry dedicated to the success of spectacles like the Olympic Games," reads the letter, which was addressed to USOC Chairman Larry Probst.

"Because many of the competition venues, transportation options and lodging availability are already present, Los Angeles is ready, now."

The letter was issued shortly after Boston withdrew its candidacy for the 2024 Olympics. Unlike L.A., Boston would need to invest in building new athletic and other types of infrastructure in order to host the games. As a result, this sparked protests by residents who complained about the potential cost.

The letter also notes that Los Angeles hosted the Summer Olympics in both 1932 and 1984.

"We believe it makes perfect sense for the city that hosted the Xth and XXIIIrd Olympiads to simply combine the two, and for the Games of the XXXIIIrd Olympiad to make their way to Los Angeles. We call on you to help make #LAXXXIII a reality," adds the letter.

The representatives who signed the letter include: Xavier Becerra, Brad Sherman, Grace Napolitano, Ted Lieu, Norma Torres, Karen Bass, Janice Hahn, Alan Lowenthal, Linda Sanchez, Judy Chu, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Julia Brownley, Adam Schiff, Stephen Knight, Mark Takano, Pete Aguilar, Raul Ruiz, Loretta Sanchez, Maxine Waters and Lois Capps.
