LOS ANGELES — With less than 24 hours to go before Tuesday’s primary, the top three leading Los Angeles mayoral candidates spent the weekend fanning out across neighborhoods to make their final pitches to voters still weighing their options.Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, who is polling ahead of the other candidates, packed her schedule with campaign stops, appearing alongside union workers and California Attorney General Rob Bonta to energize voters and highlight endorsements in the race’s closing stretch. The incumbent’s blitz also included stops in Eagle Rock and Van Nuys, underscoring her effort to leverage labor support and her governing record as she seeks another term.“We’ve laid a great foundation over three years, and now we need to bring it home,” she said Sunday.

Bass secured a late endorsement from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), who is term-limited, but he has not campaigned alongside her. She’s also picked up endorsements from both of California’s U.S. senators, Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Alex Padilla (D-CA), as well as former Vice President Kamala Harris.
