"Measure G, passed by voters in 2024, will nearly double the size of the Board of Supervisors and create an elected chief executive position as well as an independent ethics commission."
"The passage of Measure G had the unintended effect of wiping out Measure J, which funds anti-incarceration programs, leaving county officials scrambling for solutions."
"Tonia Arey is a real estate agent who said she decided to enter public service out of concern for the direction of Los Angeles County and a desire to bring stronger accountability to local government."
"Tomás Sidenfaden is a software developer and startup founder who has lived in Los Angeles for nearly three decades. 'Three generations of my family have called this region our home, and I'm tired of waiting around for other people to fix it,' he said."
Lindsey Horvath, a former West Hollywood city councilmember, won the L.A. County supervisor election in 2022, defeating state senators Hertzberg and Stern. As a supervisor, she spearheaded the passage of Measure G in 2024, which expanded the Board of Supervisors and established an elected chief executive and an independent ethics commission. However, Measure G's implementation inadvertently nullified Measure J, which funded anti-incarceration programs, prompting county officials to seek new solutions. Other candidates, like Tonia Arey and Tomás Sidenfaden, are also focused on public safety and community accountability.
