The Los Angeles City Controller is the paymaster and chief accounting officer of the city. The incumbent was Kenneth Mejia, who was first elected in 2022 after defeating councilor Paul Koretz. He initially faced opposition from former state senator Isadore Hall III and capital management executive Zach Sokoloff, before Hall withdrew.[4][5] Sokoloff's mother, Sheryl Sokoloff, contributed $7.5 million in independent expenditures to the race, which were spent on television advertisements and mailers attacking Mejia.[6] Despite Sokoloff gaining the endorsement of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, Mejia defeated Sokoloff in the primary, securing a second term as Controller.[7]
