LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles Controller Ron Galperin launched his campaign Jan. 6 for state controller with an endorsement from current State Controller Betty Yee, who is leaving the position due to term limits.

“I am pleased to endorse Ron Galperin for state controller,” Yee said. “As Los Angeles controller, Galperin has demanded the kind of accountability, transparency and equity our state needs. Galperin’s experience and accomplishments leading government reform and innovation will help realize a California that works for everyone.”
