LOS ANGELES – City Attorney Mike Feuer May 17, suspended his candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles and endorsed Karen Bass. The two city leaders held a press conference at Encino Park earlier today to make the announcement.
“Exactly three weeks from today, this city will head to the ballot box to elect a battle-tested, mission-driven leader — someone who has proven in the face of violent crime, economic disaster and a pandemic, that she will always deliver for the people of Los Angeles.” said City Attorney Feuer. “Thirty-second ads don’t trump more than thirty years of results. Karen Bass is the only person in this race with the experience to bring our unhoused neighbors indoors, tackle our affordability crisis, and make our communities safer by getting guns off of our streets. The stakes of not getting this right are too high. I am proud to support Karen Bass to be the next Mayor of Los Angeles.”
Rep. Karen Bass has also received endorsements from the Los Angeles Times, labor and civil rights Leader Dolores Huerta, Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Sierra Club and EMILY’s List.
