Final Los Angeles city election ballots drip in, and Karen Bass is more solidly ahead of Rick Caruso in mayoral race. And will the LA City Council get a progressive woman for the Eastside?
Congresswoman Karen Bass has pulled comfortably ahead of businessman Rick Caruso, offering him an apparently tough fight in November, according to the painfully slow Los Angeles County election returns released on Tuesday, June 21.
Caruso has called for increasing the police department by 1,500 sworn officers. Bass wants to maintain the police force, increase the overall budget, and free up more officers to patrol — as a response to voters’ reports of feeling unsafe. Los Angeles voters also delivered what appears to be a big upset in favor of a progressive woman candidate on the Eastside, who in the final count may win outright a rare primary against a powerful Los Angeles city councilman — Gil Cedillo.
Hernandez declared that the results showed “the people of CD1 have spoken, calling for change by voting to prioritize affordable housing, investments in our elders and young people and support for renters.” Cedillo has not yet issued a statement, with campaign aides saying he likely will not comment on the results.
Because the county registrar does not identify which parts of Los Angeles still have uncounted ballots, the outcome of close races are hard to call. But so few ballots are left to count that many candidates are viewing the races as over, and won or lost.
