 Karen Bass Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Karen Bass has just marked one of the most consequential milestones of her mayoralty and, arguably, of her entire public life. According to the Los Angeles Times and the mayor’s own office, Los Angeles has now fully divested from coal in its city power supply, ending deliveries from a long‑standing Utah coal plant and moving the nation’s second‑largest city decisively toward its goal of 100 percent clean energy by 2035. At a news conference this week, Bass called it “a defining moment for the city of Los Angeles,” framing the shift not as a symbolic gesture but as the backbone of a new clean energy economy built on solar, wind, electric vehicle infrastructure, and aggressive moves to cut carbon emissions for generations to come, as her official press release emphasized.

In a parallel storyline on the home‑front crisis that helped elect her, LAist reports that Bass has now lifted the state of emergency on homelessness she declared on her first day in office, saying many of the extraordinary tools it created have been baked into permanent policy. She stressed the crisis is “ongoing” but pointed to two years of declines in the city’s unhoused population and is pushing to enshrine fast‑track approvals for affordable housing into law, a shift that could shape her legacy on homelessness far more than the emergency declaration itself.

On community safety and reentry, the Mayor’s Office of Community Safety is promoting Justice Fair 2025, “Gifts That Keep Giving,” a citywide event she is set to host that will connect Angelenos impacted by the justice system with employers, expungement services, housing help, and mental health resources. The event listing and City Hall messaging cast it as part of Bass’s broader narrative: second chances as a public safety strategy, not just a talking point.

City Hall press releases over the past few days add texture to her public calendar: a statement honoring the legacy of architect Frank Gehry; a push urging eligible Angelenos to sign up for Medi‑Cal before year’s end; and a celebratory note on Los Angeles capturing nearly 5.5 billion gallons of stormwater in recent rains, enough to serve tens of thousands of households annually. Each item may feel incremental, but together they sketch a mayor leaning hard into climate resilience, health coverage, and cultural legacy as pillars of her story.

There are no credible reports in the past day of major personal scandals or surprise political moves involving Bass; any rumors circulating on fringe social media have not been verified by mainstream outlets and should be treated as speculation, not fact.
