Aja Brown re-elected Mayor of Compton

Aja Brown, was last week re-elected Mayor of Compton, California for a second term.

The 35-year-old Brown, who was first elected mayor in 2013 at age 31 – the city’s youngest mayor – won about 60 percent of the vote – a landslide victory – defeating former Mayor Omar Bradley in last week’s election.
