I hope Mejia runs for mayor.

Reposted from LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia

UPDATE: The City of LA has spent $19.7 MILLION so far in response to the June protests against ICE.

This spans a week-and-a-half thru June 16, 2025.

(These do not include potential lawsuits or liability claims)

I know you know but it was great seeing Mejia do the City Controller's job fantastically before even taking the office. It's been kind of amazing to see so much simple #DataDrivenPolicy from an elected official.

Wiki page reads like the start of a long career in public service:

"Elected to succeed Ron Galperin, Mejia is the first Filipino American elected official in the city of Los Angeles, the first Asian American elected to a citywide office,"

"the youngest, and the first person of color to hold the position of City Controller in over a century.'

Please add your name to the #RecallBass petition if you’re an #LA #LosAngeles resident.

Only 165k more signatures needed to recall her before she gets someone killed, and more people seriously injured

Sorry, I’m going a little overboard on this. Hoping to reach the required signatures to trigger the recall.
