Karen Bass has been sworn in as the first female mayor of Los Angeles, with Vice President Kamala Harris administering the oath of office.
Kamala Harris – the first woman and first woman of color to become vice president – administered the oath of office at Los Angeles City Hall. Bass focused her remarks Sunday on her plans to solve the city’s housing crisis, with some 40,000 people living on the streets. “Today, too many Angelenos have no choice but to crowd multiple families into one home, and to work multiple jobs just to barely pay rent,” Bass said.
The six-term congresswoman has argued that her longtime relationships with state and national lawmakers would result in increased funding to Los Angeles to address the city’s housing crisis. Bass has also promised to use her connections within the Biden administration to troubleshoot problems like the need for more federal housing vouchers.
