Assessor Jeffrey Prang reelection for L.A County Assessor – www.jeffreyprang.com
Since first taking office as Assessor in 2014, Jeffrey Prang has worked tirelessly to restore public trust in and improve the largest local public assessment agency in the US. With over 25 years of experience as a public servant, Jeffrey has been able to effectively lead his agency to a new era, where he began implementing new policies that enhance efficiency, modernize technology systems, and make services more accessible to taxpayers. The Chamber PAC supports Prang’s goals as Assessor, which include serving the public with the highest standards of accountability, accuracy, and integrity. It is his drive and determination that have led him to pursue policies that foster economic growth, such as his proposal to raise the minimum threshold for reporting the valuation of business property, which has provided tax relief to small businesses in Los Angeles County.

In his over three decades of public service, not only has Sheriff Jim McDonnell served as Chief of Police for the City of Long Beach, the second largest city in Los Angeles County but has also held every rank in the LAPD, including First Assistant Chief and second in command to Police Chief Bill Bratton. Throughout his first term as Sheriff, McDonnell continued to show his remarkable ability as an experienced leader. McDonnell has stressed the importance of treating all members of our community with respect, being transparent with and accountable to the individuals that the LASD serves. The PAC is certain he will continue to collaborate with community leaders in the many diverse neighborhoods across Los Angeles County to enhance community relations and promote safe neighborhoods.
