On Monday, April 17th, Mayor Bass will be delivering her first State of the City address to speak about the progress made during her first 100+ days in office and discuss her plans for the next year to make Los Angeles stronger, healthier, happier and safer.
Karen Bass was elected as the Mayor of Los Angeles on November 3, 2022, following a closely contested race against her opponent Rick Caruso. During her campaign, Bass highlighted her experience as a former U.S. Representative and as the Speaker of the California State Assembly, and her platform focused on issues such as addressing homelessness, improving public safety, promoting economic growth, and expanding affordable housing. Showing off her direct ties with the Federal Government pre-election, Bass toted Joe Biden around town as if he were a magnetic wallet. Not to be confused with a designer handbag.
Meanwhile, Rick Caruso, a real estate developer and philanthropist, ran his campaign emphasizing his business experience and vision for a safer, cleaner, and more prosperous Los Angeles.
Ultimately Bass won the election adding to her long list of “first” women of color to accomplish a great deed in American History.
Recently, KCRW and online tourism sub-site LAIST took the initiative by marketing an online survey, stating “LAist’s reporters, producers and editors will make sure that our coverage addresses issues that truly matter to Angelenos …help us hold local leaders — including the new mayor and city council — accountable to your top concerns.”
Although, programming may be openly trying to coerce an the city to expect a LA Mayor to clean up homelessness in less than 3 months, and ignore the notion voters may have already voiced their concerns for the city when the elected Mayor Bass, the mayor has taken steps to ensure that the people of LA are informed about her activities and plans using a more traditional method.
