Karen Bass will become the first woman mayor of Los Angeles, after beating billionaire developer Rick Caruso despite him outspending her 11-to-1.
“As someone who has both worked closely and admired from afar, I know she will be leading the city that raised her with love and compassion,” Omar tweeted. “Congratulations Karen Bass, I am going to miss you enormously but I will forever be grateful for your membership.”Women’s March Action issued a statement cheering Bass’ election, calling her “one of us.”
“She will fight for women’s rights, build bridges, help house the homeless, secure federal dollars, and bring fresh energy to City Hall,” the group said. “She is going to be a great role model and will make us proud.” Bass will take office during turbulent times in the California city of 4 million people beset by rampant inequality and its manifestations, including rising crime and an unhoused population greater than the combined populations of two neighboring cities, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.Born in South L.A., raised in the Venice-Fairfax area, and now a longtime resident of Baldwin Hills, Bass has spent her life deeply rooted in Los Angeles.
