Chinese American Citizens Alliance (CACA): Los Angeles Lodge is one of the oldest chapters, founded in 1912, located in Chinatown, Los Angeles. The membership of CACA has unanimously endorsed Jeffrey Prang for Los Angeles County Assessor. Mr. Prang, a Councilmember and four-time Mayor of West Hollywood, won the Primary Election on June 3rd and is seeking final confirmation by way of the November 4th General Election.
Jeff Prang has played a pivotal role in the stabilization and reform of the Assessor's Office in the wake of the scandal that shook the Office when Assessor John Noguez was indicted on corruption charges. In 2012, Mr. Prang orchestrated Noguez' exit from the Office, and facilitated the appointment of a reform administrator by the Board of Supervisors. As a key member of the reform administration, Prang played a crucial role in implementing reforms, including a ban on campaign contributions to Assessor candidates from tax agents who do business with the Office, and from Assessor employees, and implementing fiscal and management audits.
Former County Assessors Rick Auerbach and Kenneth P. Hahn have endorsed Mr. Prang. Other endorsements include support from scores of elected officials, including U.S. Congress Member Judy Chu, State Controller John Chiang, State Senators Ted Lieu and Carol Liu, Assembly Member Ed Chau, Mayor Eric Garcetti, Supervisors Zev Yaroslavsky, Don Knabe and Mark Ridley-Thomas, City Attorney Mike Feuer, City Controller Ron Galperin.
Also, Mr. Prang has top law enforcement officials in the state backing his candidacy including Attorney General Kamala Harris and former Los Angeles County District Attorney John Van de Kamp.
