Caruso Considers Mayoral Run

Rick Caruso is contemplating another run for Los Angeles mayor due to concerns over Mayor Karen Bass's management of the Palisades wildfire report.
Caruso accused Bass of minimizing the city's failures during the crisis, stating it resulted in a "complete loss of public trust."
Former reality star Spencer Pratt has launched his mayoral campaign, expressing dissatisfaction with Bass's leadership after the wildfire destroyed his home.
Both candidates are part of a competitive field of nearly 20 individuals ahead of the February 7 filing deadline.
