L.A. County's new Ethics Commission, the first in County history, is seeking its inaugural commissioners. The Ethics Commission will serve as an independent ethics oversight body for the County.

Its role includes overseeing and enforcing laws related to campaign finance, lobbying, conflicts of interest, governmental ethics, and related matters; providing strategic oversight of the Office of Ethics Compliance; adopting rules, regulations, policies, complaint procedures, and penalty guidelines; issuing formal opinions; and adjudicating enforcement matters, including making final decisions following administrative hearings and imposing penalties where authorized.

If you're passionate about these issues, I encourage you to apply. Applications are open now through July 26.
