Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass conceded her bitter reelection battle to City Councilwoman Nithya Raman on Thursday, ending a turbulent four years at City Hall and ushering in a historic political shift as America’s second-largest city braces for enormous challenges ahead. “Four years ago, you elected me as the first Black woman mayor in the history of Los Angeles. You gave me the honor of serving the city that raised me, and every single day since, I have carried that responsibility with me,” Bass stated in an email sent out from her campaign account.
