Bass said she would spend her first day in office declaring a state of emergency on the homeless issue plaguing the city.
A progressive Democrat, Bass becomes the first woman and second Black person to hold the city's top job and will formally assume her duties Monday amid multiple crises in the nation's second most populous city.
Striking a tone of unity, Bass said the many, disparate arms of government must come together to confront homelessness. "I call on the people of our city to not just dream of the L.A. we want, but to participate in making the dream come true," Bass said. Bass, 69, ran as the consensus pick of the Democratic establishment and was endorsed by Biden, former President Barack Obama and former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
