Karen Bass is the first woman elected mayor of LA, defeating billionaire Rick Caruso who waged the most expensive campaign in city history
A former physician assistant, Bass became politically active after witnessing the toll of the crack epidemic on Black and Latino communities in the 1980s. She founded the nonprofit Community Coalition in 1990 with the goal of uniting residents in South Los Angeles against poverty and crime.
Bass and then-Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg led months of tense negotiations on a budget plan that called for tax increases and drastic cuts to state programs, a proposal that angered lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. They succeeded in getting Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and six GOP lawmakers to sign onto the budget, a decision that resulted in Republican legislative leaders being ousted from their positions.
It was during her time as speaker that Bass’ daughter, Emilia Bass-Lechuga, and her son-in-law were killed in a car accident. Nuñez watched as that tragedy seemed to change Bass.
