LOS ANGELES—Rep. Karen Bass has apologized for remarks she made during Oct. 6 Los Angeles mayoral debate accusing her opponent, developer Rick Caruso, of paying to receive an endorsement from the Avance Democratic Club, a local Latino political group.
“Accountability and transparency starts with me, and when I make a mistake, I own it,” Bass said in a statement to City News Service. “I shouldn’t have said what I said. I sincerely apologize to Avance and its membership.”
