Debates
On December 12, 2021, the Stonewall Democratic Club hosted a forum with candidates Bass, Feuer, Lall, and Greiwe. Buscaino and de León cancelled last minute due to scheduling conflicts.[58] On February 22, 2022, Loyola Marymount University alongside Spectrum News 1 hosted the first formal debate between candidates, with Caruso absent because of a scheduling issue.[59] During the debate, protesters started heckling them, resulting in them attempting to rush the stage near the end of the debate.[60][61]
On March 22, 2022, FOX 11 along with the Los Angeles Times hosted a debate at the University of Southern California with Bass, Buscaino, Caruso, de León, and Feuer.[62] Although most of the other candidates attacked Caruso, many people said that Caruso had won the debate.[63]
On April 28, 2022, ABC7 announced that they would be hosting a debate at California State University, Los Angeles with the top five leading candidates.[64] In response to the list, candidates Craig Greiwe, Alex Gruenenfelder Smith, Gina Viola, and Mel Wilson criticized their exclusion at the debates and the organizers.[65][66] Candidate Ramit Varma later released a statement criticizing his exclusion at debates.[67] During the Sunday debate, police removed Melina Abdullah, a professor at Cal State LA and Black Lives Matter founder, as well as other protesters from the room as they did not have a tickets to the event.[68]
The issues talked at the debates were homelessness, the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, crime, and climate change.[69][70]
