Karen Bass got 200k votes. Kenneth Mejia got 175k votes.
The media is really trying to act like it’s no big deal and inevitable that a 31-yr-old beat a 35 yr career politician who had the backing of the entire LA political establishment.
Call in to City Council's Homelessness & Poverty meeting tomorrow at 10am. Help prevent 2nd shifts & night sanitation sweeps on the Unhoused! & say YES to Venice Housing! (En español abajo en los comentarios)

Probably not a whole lot the organizers of the event could do any about it considering LACC contracts with LASD but there’s a bunch of patrols cars surrounding the @PeoplesSummit22 right now
@GinaForLA spent 1/1000th of the money Rick Caruso spent, and yet her vote total is 1/9 of his.
Many ballots are still being counted, but the math so far is:
Gina Viola- $3 per vote
Rick Caruso- $308 per vote
LAST MINUTE VOTING REMINDER:
There is NO “splitting votes” in a top two primary! Keep Caruso under 50% and the top two will move on.
If you can’t get behind increasing police budgets and criminalizing poverty then vote for @GinaForLA!
