Results, not excuses.

Los Angeles was moving in the wrong direction.

Homelessness had risen for years, housing went unbuilt, the police force had shrunk, and basic infrastructure was neglected. Karen Bass ran for Mayor to take on those problems directly, even when the fights were difficult and the politics were risky.

She brought urgency, collaboration, and hands-on leadership to City Hall, and Los Angeles began to change. More Angelenos moved indoors, housing moved forward, crime fell, and the City established a real plan to repair its streets, sidewalks, and streetlights.

Every one of those problems came with real fiscal and logistical constraints, and Karen Bass managed them the way she has managed every hard job in her career: directly, transparently, and with results people can measure.

Facing a serious budget shortfall, she made the hard calls in public, including cutting her own pay, rather than deferring them to someone else. Nithya Raman wants voters to treat their frustration with City Hall as a reason to promote her. But showing up is the most basic responsibility in any job. If Angelenos repeatedly failed to show up for work, they would be reprimanded or fired. Raman receives approximately $245,000 a year from taxpayers, the highest salary paid to any city council in the country, yet she has missed 2,964 Council and committee votes. Now she wants a promotion to run the entire city. That is the choice Los Angeles faces this November: measurable progress or more excuses; steady, tested leadership or ideological experiments; a Mayor who has begun moving Los Angeles forward, or a councilmember asking for a promotion she has not earned. Karen Bass will keep making the difficult decisions, delivering results, and continuing the work she started.

Now she's asking every Angeleno to help her finish.
Let’s do this together.
