11th May 2026
And who could blame her?
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has decided to skip out on the upcoming mayoral debate scheduled for Wednesday, according to debate organizers who posted on social media over the weekend.
Campaign spokesman Alex Stack said Bass will instead travel to Sacramento, where she will be “fighting for critical state funding for housing, homelessness, and Palisades recovery, and will also discuss the city and state partnership on the Olympics and World Cup,” according to City News Service.
“It’s time to move past debates,” Stack said on why the mayor pulled out of a scheduled debate with the primary election less than a month away.
