Team,

The results are in, and it is the honor of my life to be elected as your mayor.

To everyone who helped deliver this victory for our campaign and for Los Angeles — THANK YOU!

Let me be clear: none of this would have been possible without you. Angelenos came together, across every neighborhood and all walks of life, to be heard — and I hear you.

Now, it’s time to get to work and move our city in a new direction. It’s time to house people immediately, increase safety and opportunity in every neighborhood, and create a new standard of ethics and accountability at City Hall.

As your mayor, I will work for you, and I will work with you by making sure our agenda and our administration truly reflects the full diversity of the people of Los Angeles.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, worked and voted for this campaign. You didn’t sit back, but stepped up for the future of Los Angeles.

Now, it’s time to build that future.

With gratitude,

Karen Bass
