Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced her endorsement of Karen Bass in her re-election campaign for Mayor of Los Angeles in a statement released on Monday. “Mayor Karen Bass is the leader Los Angeles needs right now,” Harris said. “She has done what so many said couldn’t be done — the first ever two-year decline in homelessness, reducing crime to levels this city hasn’t seen since the 1960s, and refusing to back down when the federal government came after our neighbors. She has my full support for re-election.”
