Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass launched a bid for a second term Saturday, vowing to make the city more affordable while taking swipes at leadership in the federal government.

During a rally in downtown LA on Saturday, Bass thanked supporters for their attendance at the end of a "hell of a year."

"Angelenos, the city I've been in my whole life, the city I love, I feel we have accomplished a lot," she said. "But we're not done. And I'm not finished."

Bass has served as mayor since 2022. In her tenure, she's taken action on the city's housing crisis and sought an expansion of the Los Angeles Police Department.
