"After much reflection and heartfelt conversations with my family, I have decided not to pursue elected office at this time, he wrote. It is a difficult decision, and I am deeply disappointed to step back from an election I believe is so critical to California's future."
"Public service does not require a title. It is, and will always be,"
Rick Caruso confirmed he will not run for elected office this year after weighing where he can be most impactful and considering the impact on his family. His name rose in political conversations after the Palisades and Eaton fires, during which he criticized city bureaucracy and launched the nonprofit Steadfast LA to speed rebuilding through public-private partnerships.

Caruso's company plans to reopen Palisades Village when renovations finish, and he remains committed to Steadfast LA efforts and public service without holding office.
