Mayhem Studios Completes Redesign For The City of Los Angles Mayors Office Website.

The Studio completes another successful project for City of Los Angeles. Launching the new Mayor Office Website.

Antonio R. Villaraigosa is the 41st mayor of Los Angeles when he took office in July 2005, it was the culmination of a dream to serve the City that has shaped his life. And no city in America faces greater risks or rewards than Los Angeles.

We have taken the attitude that our future as a great global city depends on our willingness to dream big and to confront our most daunting challenges. This is our chance to expand economic opportunity to every neighborhood and to unite Angelenos behind the idea that our similarities run deeper than our differences.

It’s also a chance to create a different kind of government – one that is fiscally responsible and socially progressive, one that recognizes environmentally sustainable growth is not a luxury, but a necessity, and one that understands we can no longer afford to leave thousands of young people behind without a high school diploma.
