Former L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa endorsed Rep. Karen Bass in her bid for mayor, saying, 'I have never seen this city so dirty, so rudderless.'
Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced Friday his endorsement of Rep. Karen Bass in the mayor’s race, arguing that Bass’ nearly half-century of public service makes her the most qualified candidate to lead the city.
Villaraigosa said he typically would not endorse so early in the race but felt he had to because the city’s problems require aggressive leadership. City Councilmen Joe Buscaino and Kevin de León, City Atty. Mike Feuer, former Metro board member Mel Wilson and downtown business leader Jessica Lall are also runningVillaraigosa said that he met Bass in the early 1970s at the community group Coalition Against Police Abuse, where they worked on such issues as the drug epidemic, police accountability and poverty.
