Karen Bass: “I mean it is just hard to believe that there is just allegations and nothing has ever been proven.”

I understand why residents are frustrated. They deserve transparency, clear communication, and meaningful support.

I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I’m going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.

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.

We are a city that is unified.
