Zach Sokoloff Challenges L.A. City Controller Kenneth Mejia with Major Financial Backing
Kenneth Mejia, the Los Angeles City Controller, faces a well-funded challenge from Zach Sokoloff in the upcoming primary election. Sokoloff, a senior vice president at a real estate investment firm, has raised significant funds for his campaign, including $1 million of his own money and $7.5 million in independent expenditures from his mother. The campaign has focused on criticizing Mejia's performance, particularly in conducting audits. Mejia, who has raised $143,000 for his campaign, argues that the Sokoloff family is attempting to buy the election.
