L.A. Mayor Candidate Karen Bass Urges Hollywood Not to Pull Shoots From States Banning Abortion
18.05.2022 - 18:13 / thewrap.com
Los Angeles Times reported that Caruso had spent more than $23 million (mostly in splashy TV ads), compared to Bass’ $800,000. In the last few days, the field has narrowed to Bass, Caruso and current L.A. Councilman Kevin de Leon.
Mail-in voting for the primary is currently underway, with in-person voting taking place on June 7 ahead of a November contest between the top two finishers. Despite her nuanced take on abortion-related production boycotts, Bass said she isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and duke it out, if she feels it will make a significant impact. “Like the ridiculous fight that’s going on now in Florida with Disney World,” she said, referring to Republican Gov. Rick DeSantis’ aggressive legislative and rhetorical attacks on the Hollywood conglomerate.
“We know that guy is trying to be Trump II, and so why he chose to pick on Mickey Mouse is beyond me!”She also noted her long-time support of other Hollywood-related issues during her decades in politics, both at the state and national level. “Years ago, I was helping the industry diversify the below-the-line crafts,” she said. “I worked with an organization called Workplace Hollywood to create a program that was picked up by West L.A.
College, so that young people can go and learn the different crafts. And then when I went into the state House, I was involved in securing tax credits to keep production in the state of California. And then in Washington, D.C., I’ve been working on piracy and copyright.”That history helped explain the support she found from top industry figures at Tuesday’s fundraiser.
“She’s of the city,” Abrams told the roughly 100 guests as they noshed on crudité and chips ‘n’ dip. “She was born here. She was raised here.
