My Take
Karen Bass is a study in the long game. From physician assistant to California Assembly Speaker to Congress and finally the 43rd mayor of Los Angeles, she climbed without skipping rungs, which earns my respect in a field full of shortcuts. The 2010 Profile in Courage Award hints at someone willing to take political heat for a principle. What moves me most is the homecoming arc: a daughter of Los Angeles returning to run it. Taking the helm of a sprawling, fractious city in your seventies takes real conviction, and I find that quietly admirable.
