Billionaire developer Rick Caruso spent $100 million in the race for mayor of L.A. yet lost to Democrat Rep. Karen Bass and the Left's Los Angeles machine as the city spirals from rampant crime.
Billionaire developer Rick Caruso spent roughly $100 million in the race for mayor of Los Angeles, yet lost to Democratic Party favorite Rep. Karen Bass , whom he vastly outspent, as late ballots were counted.
Caruso is one of several moderate Democrats to learn what Republicans, by now, how found out: that when the party activists want to win an election in a big city, they are capable of turning out the ballots necessary to do it. Another Democrat who learned the same lesson was State Sen. Bob Hertzberg , who led the race for county supervisor until West Hollywood mayor Lindsey Horvath caught up to him and soon surpassed him.
Indeed, like many Republican candidates who fell short against Democrats around the country, Caruso focused on turning out voters, while the Bass campaign, drawing on loyal party activists, focused on turning out ballots.
