Billionaire real estate developer and former Republican Rick Caruso is a point ahead of his opponent, Democratic California Rep. Karen Bass, in the Los Angeles mayoral race, a recent poll found.
Caruso is polling at 24% compared to 23% for Bass and 6% for City Council Member Kevin de León in the city’s Democratic primary, according to a poll from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times. The primary will move to a November runoff unless one candidate gets more than half of the votes.
Caruso’s campaign has emphasized the city’s crime problem, according to the Los Angeles Times, and highlighted his service on the Los Angeles Police Commission. Caruso claimed during a mayoral debate that crime has fallen 30% during his time on the commission.
