Horvath announced her campaign Monday, Nov. 9, seeking the countywide office created by Measure G, the government overhaul she helped advance before voters approved it in 2024.For residents in her Third District, which includes Santa Monica and a portion of Venice , the announcement puts their supervisor in the race for a position with executive authority extending across the county.The change will shift the choice of the county's top executive from the Board of Supervisors to voters. The board currently appoints the CEO.The elected executive will oversee county administration for a government serving nearly 10 million residents. The county's final adopted budget for fiscal 2026–27 totals $54.2 billion .Horvath framed her campaign around the argument county government has been too slow to deliver."Los Angeles has never been a place that dreams small," Horvath said in a statement. "But for too long, our county government has moved too slowly, failed to meet the moment, and allowed bureaucracy to stand in the way of progress. I fight everyday to reform our government
