Bass campaign to return $9,700 after questions over contractor donations
x/karen-bass
— Sep 4, 2026
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is refunding $9,700 in campaign contributions from Danny Bakewell Sr. and other leaders of the Brotherhood Crusade-Black United Fund after The Times questioned whether donors tied to a city-contracted anti-gang nonprofit violated ethics rules. The donations come as the mayor, who is in a runoff, faces scrutiny over a contract worth millions awarded to the nonprofit and the city’s campaign-finance restrictions on contractors and their principals.

Refunding the money after getting caught isn't the same as not taking it in the first place. Timing here says a lot.
