“As we enter challenging economic times, it is more important than ever that Californians have an independent-minded Controller who will keep watch over how their tax dollars are spent. Californians need a problem-solver, not a typical politician, as their next Controller. Lanhee has shown the ability to transcend left and right to get things done, and I am proud to endorse him,” Yang said at a local Chinese community leaders gathering hosted by former California State Senator Bob Huff and his wife MeiMei Huff in Southern California.

State Controller candidate Lanhee Chen added, “I’m proud to have Andrew’s support. He is a dynamic thinker and leader who is doing important work in addressing the failures of our overly partisan political system. With his support, I look forward to bringing Californians of all political stripes together to win in November. I believe that being an effective Controller is not about left or right, but about putting taxpayers ahead of the Sacramento insiders.”
