Los Angeles County Supervisor Barger Issues November 9 Statement on Unresolved Constitutional Questions Around New County Executive Post, Calling Campaigning Premature
Los Angeles, California — Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who represents the Fifth District, issued a statement on November 9 on unresolved constitutional questions surrounding the county's new elected County Executive position. Barger said campaigning for the new County Executive position is premature when serious questions remain about whether the office itself is constitutional.
In the statement, Barger said a recent legal challenge raised by former federal judge Stephen Larson raises fundamental questions about whether California's Constitution allows an elected County Executive to veto Board decisions, control County contracts, and assume powers that state law assigns to the Board of Supervisors. She said these concerns reinforce why she supported the Board's October 20 decision to pause implementation, and that important questions about Measure G's legal implications remain unresolved.
Measure G is the Los Angeles County governance reform measure that includes creation of the elected County Executive post. Barger's statement announced no new legislation or litigation, and stated only that she remains reserved about advancing an election for the office before the constitutional questions are settled.
The implementation timeline for the County Executive position will be determined by the Board of Supervisors and the progress of the related legal challenge. Barger's office published the full statement on her supervisorial website.
