"This year, we have confronted challenges before us with urgency and unity," Bass said in a statement Sunday. "Together, we brought thousands of Angelenos inside who were suffering on our streets. Together, we invested in a comprehensive safety strategy that has resulted in a recent record of police academy applications as well as expansions of community-based safety solutions.
"Together, we're attracting businesses to come to our city, building a greener Los Angeles and improving city services. When we were faced with crises -- whether it was a hurricane or a disastrous fire, we got through them together -- and together, with urgency, collaboration and innovation, we will continue to build a better future in every neighborhood, for every Angeleno. Nothing will stop Los Angeles."
