What happens in New York, LA and other big cities can foreshadow the direction of national Democratic politics.
For now, the officially nonpartisan race is a scrum with no dominant candidate, though the leading contenders all are Democrats., a fixture in the party’s progressive wing who was on President Joe Biden’s short list when he was considering a vice presidential pick. Her election would be groundbreaking: She hopes to become the city’s first female and second Black mayor, after Tom Bradley, who held the post from 1973 to 1993.Bass needs to build support beyond her congressional district.
Other candidates among a leading group include city Councilman Joe Buscaino, a former policeman pushing for an expanded police department; Councilman Kevin de Leon, a former state Senate leader and the most prominent Latino on the ballot in a city that is about half Hispanic; and City Attorney Mike Feuer, who has made gun violence a priority.
