Kevin Dahlgren and Jonathan Choe recently appeared on Newsmax’s Finnerty, hosted by Rob Finnerty, to discuss their joint investigation with Frontlines TPUSA and other independent journalists into a cash-for-ballots scheme in Skid Row. Dahlgren and Choe explain how ballot initiative workers are paying the homeless to fraudulently sign petitions in Los Angeles’ notoriously drug-infested and crime-ridden Skid Row. Dahlgren called the scheme “irresponsible, exploitative, cruel, illegal.”

Kevin Dahlgren

Contributor, Fix Homelessmess Initiative
Kevin Dahlgren is a grassroots journalist documenting homelessness, addiction, and systemic failure on the West Coast. He worked in social services for over two decades and saw the dysfunction firsthand. Through firsthand reporting, photography, and on-the-ground observation, he exposes the gap between public spending and real-world outcomes. His work centers on humanizing people living on the streets while holding nonprofits, local governments, and policies accountable for results. Drawing from direct encounters rather than press releases, Dahlgren highlights lived experience, public safety, and overlooked consequences of failed interventions. His journalism challenges dominant narratives, sparks uncomfortable conversations, and advocates for practical, measurable solutions rooted in accountability, preparation, and dignity.
