Rick Caruso Opts Out of 2026 LA Mayor and California Governor Races
TL;DR Summary
Los Angeles billionaire Rick Caruso said he will not run for LA mayor or California governor in 2026, choosing to step back after weighing how a campaign would affect his family. His withdrawal removes a potential wealth-backed challenger in both races, where Karen Bass faces a crowded field and the governor’s race is already packed with contenders since Gavin Newsom is term-limited; Caruso’s name recognition is stronger in LA than statewide, and his 2022 bid cost him over $100 million.
