Following the deadly shooting of Jameson, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ordered a review of dog encounters when it comes to deadly force.

Because an election is about the future, it’s not about the past.

[I have] 45 days of making sure that I am visiting all of the places I’ve worked in a good part of my life, reminding people of what we have done and reminding people of what we’re going to do in the future.

One outlier poll which got the June primary wrong, means very little with 40 days to go. This is going to be a close race, and we're in it to win. Let's get to work!

We must rigorously examine whether our policies, training, tactics, supervision and accountability systems are sufficient.

People who experience behavioral or mental health crises often do not receive the proper care they desperately need. Without it, they can deteriorate into behavior that can result in severe injury or death.

Any bad faith attempts to influence elections should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The lack of adequate services continues to be a real problem and a contributing factor to people cycling in and out of homelessness, and these services are controlled by LA County.

The Trump Administration has driven up the cost of gas, groceries, and rent — pushing more families to the edge — and slashed critical safety net funding.

The city and county have opened spaces for families seeking relief from the smoke, and we will continue working around the clock and doing everything possible to put this fire out completely.

The Governor will be prepared to respond to our State of the Emergency when that is ready with whatever resources we need to do what the Chief described, which is moving the toxic materials away from here and disposing of them in a way…

While the LAFD continues making progress, this is a major, multi-jurisdictional incident. I'm issuing an emergency declaration to ensure the City has the resources it needs as this operation continues and to keep the community safe.
