"It's Time to Restore Compton- With Leadership You Can Trust."
Compton deserves a Mayor who knows our community, listens to its people, and takes action to create real change. Inez “Tootie” Adkins has spent her life serving this city — as a homeowner, mother, longshore worker, and community advocate — and she’s ready to lead with integrity, experience, and a vision for a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Compton. Together, we can restore our city and build a future we can all be proud of.
A forward-focused vision for a safer, stronger, thriving Compton.
