  • Another $2 MILLION from our opponent’s mom today! That brings their family total to $8.5 million to try to buy the Controller’s seat for their failed real estate executive son. His mom is spending $7.5 million, and he is spending $1 million of his own money! If you see his disgusting attack ads, please do your own research and reach out to me personally. Less than one week until the election! Remember to vote for the only CPA running for LA City Controller! mejiaforcontroller.com About: K

  • The press is sick of our opponent's lies. Also, our opponent's mom is spending $7.5 MILLION to buy her son the LA City Controller seat. Unlimited money in politics is destroying trust in government. Kenneth Mejia is the first CPA and auditor elected as LA's City Controller. As the City's Accountant and Auditor, he provides financial transparency and holds City Hall accountable for fiscally irresponsible decisions. He's made the City's data and finances more transparent and accessible than ever

  • My opponent’s mom is spending $2.5 MILLION to take me down, your independent #LosAngeles City Controller who’s accountable to YOU, the people.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
