In a statement released Tuesday, Padilla pointed to what he he described as Bass’ leadership opposing the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement raids.
“Karen Bass has led Los Angeles through difficult times,” Padilla’s statement said. “When the Trump administration deployed troops into our communities and tore families apart, Mayor Bass stood up and stood firm for Angelenos. She’s reducing homelessness, building more housing, and making neighborhoods safer, while standing up for our city and our values. I’m proud to endorse her for re-election.”
