Shopping center developer Rick Caruso just came one step closer to becoming the next mayor of Los Angeles.
“This is an important moment in the history of our city,” said Caruso, at a large outdoor victory party organized Tuesday night at The Grove. “Angelenos feel unheard. They feel left out. They feel worried and hopeless.…I am confident we can change, and change will happen.”
At the age of 26, he was named by Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley to be a commissioner for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Tired of seeing the crack cocaine epidemic sweep through South L.A., the 68-year-old Bass started the Community Coalition in 1990 to tackle drugs, poverty, dismal healthcare and too many liquor stores in the neighborhood.
Bass was endorsed by the Los Angeles Times, former L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, John Legend, Steven Spielberg, Magic Johnson and Tracee Ellis Ross.
