Overview

The creator presents a simplified voter guide for a Los Angeles election, aimed at people unfamiliar with local politics. While a woman in a stylish white outfit walks and poses in an industrial setting to a rhythmic soundtrack, a series of text overlays appear. These overlays list candidates for Mayor, City Controller, and City Attorney, and compare each one to a well-known national political figure to make their political leanings easily understandable.
