Rep. Karen Bass and businessman Rick Caruso face off on Wednesday evening in their first — and as of now only — televised debate in the Los Angeles mayoral race.
Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., speaks during her election night party Tuesday, June 7, 2022, in Los Angeles. Bass and billionaire developer Rick Caruso breezed past a large field of rivals looking to be the next mayor of Los Angeles and advanced Tuesday to a runoff election in November.
Bass, a former state lawmaker who’s spent the past decade representing a U.S. congressional district located west and south of downtown Los Angeles, and Caruso are facing off in the general election after winning the top two spots in a June primary. Bass grabbed 43% of the vote, and Caruso won 36%, far ahead of the rest of the contenders in the crowded field of candidates.
Rick Caruso, a Democratic candidate for Los Angeles mayor, celebrates at his primary-night gathering in Los Angeles, Tuesday, June 7, 2022, with his family behind him. Bass, who’s also pledged to tackle the city’s homelessness and crime issues, has highlighted Caruso’s tenure on the USC Board of Trustees, during which the school faced lawsuits regarding decades of alleged sexual abuse by a campus gynecologist.Bass enjoys the backing of such prominent Democrats as President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The winner will succeed term-limited Mayor Eric Garcetti, whose nomination by Biden to serve as U.S. ambassador to India is currently stalled.The Los Angeles Times, Univision 34, KPCC, the Skirball Cultural Center, the Los Angeles Urban League and Loyola Marymount University are also co-hosting Wednesday’s back-to-back debates — which lead with a showdown for L.A. County sheriff ahead of the mayoral debate. The debates, which will take place at Skirball Cultural Center, begin at 6 p.m. PT.
