LOS ANGELES—With the Nov. 8 election approaching, mayoral candidate and U.S. Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) appeared on stage with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) Oct. 27, establishing herself as the most progressive candidate running to govern the second most populous city in the United States.
Organized by the California Working Families Party—a progressive political organization—the “Bernie for Bass” rally drew hundreds of people to Playa Vista’s Central Park in the evening, with both giving impassioned speeches on homelessness, crime, abortion, and wages.
