"Fesia Davenport, L.A. County's chief executive officer, received a $2 million settlement this summer due to professional fallout from Measure G, a voter-approved ballot measure that will soon make her job obsolete, according to a letter she wrote to the county's top lawyer. Davenport wrote in the July 8 letter, which was released through a public record request Tuesday, that she had been seeking $2 million for "reputational harm, embarrassment, and physical, emotional and mental distress caused by the Measure G.""
""Measure G is an unprecedented event, and has had, and will continue to have, an unprecedented impact on my professional reputation, health, career, income, and retirement," Davenport wrote to County Counsel Dawyn Harrison. "My hope is that after setting aside the amount of my ask, that there can be a true focus on what the real issues are here - measure G has irrevocably changed my life, my professional career, economic outlook, and plans for the future.""
L.A. County Chief Executive Officer Fesia Davenport received a $2 million settlement this summer related to professional fallout from Measure G. Davenport sought $2 million for reputational harm, embarrassment, and physical, emotional and mental distress linked to Measure G. Measure G will increase the number of county supervisors to nine and make the chief executive an elected position beginning in 2028, effectively eliminating her appointed role. The settlement was finalized in mid‑August and its existence was first reported publicly by LAist. Davenport began a medical leave and expects to return early next year. Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Janice Hahn announced Measure G as an overhaul of county bureaucracy.
