Summary
City Controller Kenneth Mejia is throwing his weight behind Nithya Raman in the mayoral race, praising her commitment to restoring robust oversight of Los Angeles’ crumbling infrastructure. Mejia says Raman understands the urgent need for a fully staffed controller’s office to conduct deep audits — not just on LADWP’s water pipes, but on sidewalks, parks, and emergency readiness across the city. He’s frustrated with current underfunding that limits his office’s ability to hold city departments accountable. Raman agrees, calling transparency and accountability non-negotiable for effective governance. With Bass’ camp silent on the endorsement, Raman’s growing support from Mejia could be a major campaign boost as the race heats up.
