MEASURE G FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT

Measure G is a ballot initiative that will appear on the November 2024 ballot with the goal of making Los Angeles County work better for its 10 million residents by improving ethics, representation, transparency and accountability. It is a comprehensive governance and ethics reform package for Los Angeles County. 

Nurses, Small Businesses, Civil Rights Groups, and Democrats Agree: Vote YES for a more transparent, accountable, and effective L.A. County.

Measure G will NOT cost taxpayers or impact County services.

The measure mandates these reforms be implemented using existing funds from the County’s massive $45 billion budget.

  • VOTE YES on Measure G to make Los Angeles County work better for its 10 million residents by improving ethics, representation, transparency, and accountability through meaningful charter reform for the first time since 1912.

  • Vote YES to advance ethics reforms to hold politicians accountable and root out waste, fraud and corruption; create an independent Ethics Commission; prevent former politicians from lobbying the County in the first two years after leaving office; and authorize suspension of  County politicians criminally charged with a felony.

  • Vote YES to empower voters by creating an elected County Executive directly accountable to the people, putting an end to the current system where an unelected bureaucrat controls the County’s $45 billion budget.

  • Vote YES to require County departments to hold public budget hearings and require a minimum of five days' notice to the public of County legislation, preventing politicians from making secret closed-door deals.

  • Vote YES to increase representation and equity on the Board of Supervisors by increasing the number of seats from five to nine members, shrinking the districts and allowing leaders to better serve their constituents.

  • Vote YES to put an end to the dysfunction that has allowed homelessness, housing, and other problems to get worse; reforming County government by implementing the necessary checks and balances found at every other level of democratic government.
