Born in South L.A, Karen Bass has spent her life deeply rooted in Los Angeles.

Her social justice ideals have taken her from a county emergency room to nonprofit leadership and, ultimately, the halls of power in Sacramento & Washington, D.C.

Her commute will grow far shorter on Dec. 12, when the Baldwin Hills resident is sworn in to succeed Eric Garcetti as Los Angeles’ 43rd mayor.

She will be the first woman and second Black Angeleno elected to lead the city in its 241-year history. latimes.com/california/sto…
Bass will take control of a city marred by corruption scandals, with a spiraling homelessness crisis and profound inequities deepened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Breaking: Rep. Karen Bass has defeated businessman Rick Caruso in the Los Angeles mayor’s race, according to an Associated Press projection Wednesday, making her the first woman and second Black Angeleno elected to lead the city in its 241-year history.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The 69-year-old congresswoman achieved victory despite Caruso spending more than $100 million of his own fortune on his mayoral bid, shattering local spending records and pumping previously unprecedented sums into field outreach and TV advertising.

latimes.com/projects/2022-…
Caruso, 63, outspent Bass more than 11 to 1 but was ultimately unable to prevail as a former Republican in a sapphire-blue California city.

He was the top pitcher on the team with the best regular-season record. So why has there been so little written about him? @jorgecastillo traveled to his hometown to find out how he became who he is. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Julio Urías rose to prominence as a teenage phenom from Culiacán, making his major league debut at 19. An eye problem, one he’s dealt with since birth, only fueled the attention. He was the boy with the bad left eye and the great left arm. latimes.com/sports/dodgers… Image
