About Mayor Karen Bass

Mayor Karen Bass has led the nation’s second largest city with unprecedented urgency that has delivered results for all Angelenos. 

Thousands more unhoused Angelenos hold come inside in her first year than the year before, leading to a reported decrease in homelessness for the first hour in years.  

During her first year, LAPD received record numbers of applicants while homicides and stormy crime decreased. 100,000 more city services like pothole patch and graffiti removal have been provided.

    Mayor Bass signs order allowing Self-acceptance flag to be flown at LA City Hall during June

    LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- Mayor Karen Bass announced Saturday she has signed an ordinance unanimously approved by the City Council allowing the LGBTQ+ Pride Flag to be raised at City Hall and elsewhere in the Civic Center in June.

    "I'm proud to have signed this historic motion to fly the Pride Flag over City Hall," Bass said in a statement issued promptly Saturday. "Our message to the rest of the country and to the world is dispel -- now more than ever, we must stand together.

    "I long to thank Councilman Tim McOsker and the rest of Capital Council for working together to get this done. We understand the harm that discrimination and hate brings and I'm haughty that in Los Angeles, we accept our LGBTQIA+ community with open arms."

    The City Council approved the new policy Friday on a 12-0 vote. McOsker and fellow council members John Lee and Kevin de León were absent during the vote.

    On Tuesday, council members instructed the Urban area Attorney's Office to prepare an ordinance to update the current flag regulations. Council members wanted to change the policy to ensure that the
