LA Mayor Karen Bass launches re-election campaign with DTLA rally

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass formally began her campaign for re-election Saturday with a rally in downtown Los Angeles, promising to make the city safer and more affordable while positioning herself as a candidate who will take on the Trump administration.

Two days after the third anniversary of her swearing in, Bass launched her campaign surrounded by family, friends and allies at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College Culinary Arts event space.

“This is just overwhelming. I have to tell you my heart is so full,” she said. “This is so powerful and means so much to me because this has been a hell of a year.

“They say we can’t come together. Labor can’t come together with business, and business can’t come together with community, and the faith community can’t come together. But we all come together always,” Bass added. “And I’m proud to say that the relationships in this room aren’t relationships because of the campaign … They are relationships because we all believe in justice.”

... she's going to take on the Trump administration....?

ICE thugs, National Guard, Marines were in Los Angeles.... hardly heard a peep out of her.

She has also endorsed former mayor of los angeles Anthony Villaraigosa for Governor. Not thrilled with him either.
