Tom Camarella: California Democratic Party 47 Assembly District Delegate
Karen Bass knows the district, analyzes the issues, and truly listens to her constituents. She is fighting hard for those who are powerless: the children, the sick, and the disenfranchised. She has the experience to organize workable coalitions and get legislation passed. It makes me proud to support someone who is truly working for the betterment of our citizens and our community.
Jackie Hawthrone: Los Angeles African American Women Political Action Committee Chairwoman
I support Karen Bass because she exemplifies all that an elected official should embody. She cares about her constituents and is well equipped to represent her district. She exudes confidence, integrity, and energy. Karen Bass also has a gift for collaboration that helps her get tough jobs done.
Joelle Gamble: 2nd year, UCLA
Throughout this year, despite cuts to education causing major anxiety on my campus, I've never felt more represented as a California student. This is primarily because Speaker Emeritus Karen Bass, who represents the district my university, is in, was always visiting our campus, talking to us and explaining what was going on in the state legislature. I support Karen Bass because she is invested in her community and her constituents. Her concern for how her decisions and the decisions of our government affect students and the community has made this difficult year for higher education much less worrisome for me.
Emily Taylor: CD 33rd Resident, Palms
I started volunteering for Karen Bass because she DOES care about my community, my city, and my home as much as I do! Her great work in Los Angeles has uplifted thousands and her fearless leadership in Sacramento has helped countless others from foster care to Healthy Families. I trust her because she’s proven time and time again she’ll work for me, so now I volunteer to help her in return.

Our GoodLife with Gabby Dancers encourages and teaches kids the importance of living healthy lifestyles in a fun and exciting way!

Karen Bass acknowledged the dance team for their outstanding work in the community and we continue to work with her office to reach even more kids. Karen is responsible for the Annual Well Body - Well Mind Community Health Fair and we were thrilled to participate!
