Audit of City of Los Angeles 2023

Office of Kenneth Mejia, LA City Controller

Good afternoon! Here's a look at how #KennethMejia, with his unconventional #campaign yet straightforward messaging, captured LA's attention on a little-known position of city controller -- Can he be a model for other #progressive candidates in #LosAngeles? Many think so at least. The election also is a milestone for #AsianAmerican politics, as Mejia becomes the first API to hold a citywide elected office in LA.
