Congresswoman Karen Bass has made history after winning the race to become the next mayor of Los Angeles. Numbers posted online by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office showed Bass with 403,427 votes compared to Caruso’s 356,849. The Los Angeles Times reported Caruso outspent Bass more than 11 to 1. When Bass takes office, she will be the first woman to lead the nation’s second most populous city and only the second Black mayor after the late Tom Bradley, who served from 1973 to 1993. Bass will replace embattled Mayor Eric Garcetti who is termed out of office.
