The American Federation of Musicians Local 47 is proud to announce it has endorsed Karen Bass for Mayor of Los Angeles. 

In its endorsement, AFM 47 cited Bass’ consistent support for labor and working families, and particularly her support for Los Angeles musicians in the arts and entertainment industries. They also praised her strong pro-labor record that earned her the endorsement of the 800,000 members of the LA County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO. In addition, they pointed to her years of leadership on behalf of entertainment industry workers, pointing to her strong support for workers in Hollywood through film/TV tax credits, and the American Music Fairness Act.   

 “Karen Bass has been a champion of issues of direct concern to musicians, whether we perform on film and TV scores, make music played on AM/FM radio, or play in live music venues,” noted AFM 47 President Marc Sazer. “I’m proud that our American Federation of Musicians Local 47 has stepped up to endorse her to lead Los Angeles into the 2028 Olympics and beyond!”
