Los Angeles mayoral candidate Karen Bass said two guns were taken from her home on Friday, September 9. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Democratic congresswoman, who is a front-runner in the mayoral race, returned home to discover she had been stolen and immediately called the Los Angeles Police Department. Karen Bass, 68, said in a statement that the gun was the only item stolen from her home. In addition to the gun, she had cash, equipment, and other goods that weren’t stolen in the theft. She also said the gun was in a safe and secure place at the time of the accident.
“When I got home last night, I found that my house had been broken into and robbed.” “The Los Angeles Police Department was called and I appreciate their support.”
The statement goes on to say:
“At this stage, only two weapons appear to have been taken, despite being carefully and securely stored.” Cash, belongings and other valuables were not taken.”
Bass went on to note that this is not an isolated event, but something that happens all too often to the people of Los Angeles.
“It’s frustrating and unfortunately, too many Angelenos have been through that.”

Democratic candidate for mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass has been shortlisted to run for President Biden in 2020.
Karen Bass is a six-term congresswoman from California’s 37th congressional district, which includes the Venice/Fairfax neighborhood of Los Angeles. According to her campaign website, Bass has a long and distinguished background. Karen Bass is said to have worked as a medical assistant and clinical instructor at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine before entering politics. In 2004, Bass was elected to the 47th Congressional District in California.
In 2008, she was elected as the 67th Speaker of the California State Assembly, becoming the first African-American woman to hold the position of Speaker of the state legislature. According to Diversity, despite a substantial lead in the polls, Bass has encountered a number of obstacles in his mayoral campaign.
Karen Bass and the USC . bribery allegation
Rick Caruso, a wealthy shopping mall developer who is closely following Bass in the polls, has dragged the congresswoman into an ongoing federal corruption investigation at USC, where former principal Marilyn Flynn is suspected of accepting bribes in exchange for college scholarships. According to the Los Angeles Times, Karen Bass received a $95,000 scholarship while attending the school, and Caruso appears to be trying to connect the two cases. Caruso said in a press conference on Thursday, September 8th:
“We cannot allow the next mayor to lead under the shadow of corruption.”
The communities united for Karen Bass to run for Mayor of Los Angeles have released the following statement in support of their candidacy, according to Variety. Morgan Miller, chairman of the board, said:
“Caruso is trying to mislead people and distract from his bad leadership by targeting a nurse and a social worker.”
Meanwhile, Caruso was embroiled in another USC controversy, in which hundreds of women accused former USC doctor George Tyndall of sexual assault. The lawsuit was settled for more than $800 million. Caruso is accused of covering up the charges while serving as chairman of the university’s board of trustees at the time of the crash. It should be noted that, according to Diversity, the United States Attorney’s Office has denied Bass’ involvement in the USC bribery allegations.
