Sacramento, November 17 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of California, long-serving Democratic Congressmember Karen Bass has become the first woman to be elected mayor of Los Angeles.  Bass beat real estate mogul Rick Caruso, who spent over $100 million of his own fortune on his losing campaign. 

Among other issues, Karen Bass has promised to address the housing crisis in L.A., where some 70,000 people go unhoused every day.  Bass, who will be just the second Black mayor of Los Angeles, will also have to contend with the racism crisis at L.A.’s City Council, unleashed by the leak of an audio recording in which three members made racist remarks about Black and Indigenous people.
