Karen Bass

Security
On public safety, her campaign points to citywide crime reductions during her tenure, including homicide levels it says are the lowest since the 1960s, alongside increased LAPD hiring after years of department attrition, a new Office of Community Safety for non-police response to mental-health and homelessness-related crises, and expanded community violence-intervention programs.

Economy
On housing and homelessness, the campaign cites the city's first back-to-back annual decreases in street homelessness, work moving people from encampments into interim and permanent housing, nearly 40,000 housing units advanced during her term, and the city's first update to its rent-stabilization rules in roughly four decades, aimed at limiting rent increases and expanding tenant protections. On jobs, it points to a new city film czar position, reduced permitting fees for businesses, and an expanded state film and television tax credit meant to bring production work back to Los Angeles.

Infrastructure
On infrastructure, the campaign cites the city's first dedicated plan for repairing streets, sidewalks, and streetlights after years of deferred maintenance, alongside breaking ground on a long-delayed downtown convention center expansion.

Immigration
On immigration, Bass has been a vocal opponent of federal immigration-enforcement actions and military deployments in the city, organizing with other mayors around protections for immigrant residents.
