About Fullerton Transparency

A crowded city council or government meeting with officials seated on a stage in a large conference room. There is a large screen displaying a live video feed of the room, the American flag and other flags are visible behind the officials, and people are attending the meeting with some using laptops and others taking notes.

Fullerton Transparency is dedicated to shining a light on the decisions that shape our city. We break down complex policies, track political influence, and provide residents with clear, accessible information so that Fullerton’s future is guided by its people, not by special interests.

Who We Are

Fullerton Transparency was founded by Elijah Manassero, a CSUF student and Fullerton resident. Elijah first got involved through state policy issues, but quickly realized the deeper challenges at City Hall. This project grew out of that discovery, with the goal of giving residents the tools to hold local government accountable.
