Caruso had 50.2% of the votes counted compared to Bass’ 49.8%, in partial results posted shortly after 10:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Bass proposed housing more than 17,000 homeless individuals during her first year as mayor by creating new housing units and drawing upon existing ones to provide interim beds and permanent housing.
Bass in 1990 founded Community Coalition — a South L.A. organization that addresses poverty, crime and violence — in response to the crack-cocaine epidemic of that era after she treated many victims of violent crimes as an emergency room physician’s assistant. He twice served on the city’s Department of Water and Power Commission, once as the commission’s president, to help bring the department out of financial insolvency, and was appointed by Mayor James K. Hahn to the Police Commission in 2001 and served as its president.
At 63, Caruso is a political newcomer who largely self-funded his campaign. Critics have accused him of attempting to buy the election because of the more than $104 million his campaign has spent. Bass’ campaign has spent a fraction of that amount, according toBut Caruso said he’s not beholden to anyone. He’s portrayed Bass as too entrenched in the current political system and said Angelenos will wind up with the current status quo if Bass is elected.
