Karen Bass withdraws from Los Angeles mayor forum

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has withdrawn from the next City of Angels mayoral candidate forum just days after the last debate in which she took heat from opponent Spencer Pratt.

The hosts of the forum, the League of Women Voters and the Pat Brown Institute for Public
Affairs, announced her withdrawal from the event, scheduled to air on Fox 11 on Wednesday, in a public statement on social media. The hosts said they “have a long track record of co-sponsoring candidate forums that are fair, non-partisan, substantive, and focused on issues that matter most to voters.”
