Following the recent announcement of Emma Nilsen as Interim Mayor, we also wanted to cover Victor Chase, the previous mayor.
In an official statement from Governor Blackwood, he said;
“Governor Blackwood today issued Executive Order 001-2024 appointing Emma Nilsen, the City’s Chief of Finance, as Interim Mayor of Los Santos following the unexpected departure of the entire city leadership. This emergency action comes after the sitting mayor and all members of the City Council abandoned their posts without notice, creating an unprecedented crisis in municipal governance.”
Victor Chase along with all other members of the City Council abandoned their positions, without any prior notice. In a time when the mayor was needed, he couldn’t deliver. Much like with the Crime and issues in Los Santos.
Truth be told, Victor Chase had under delivered on several occasions. His level of commitment wasn’t what this city needed. Questions had been raised prior to this announcement in regards to the previous mayor and how he was, or more important, wasn’t working to better the city.
On the 13th November 2024, we wrote to Governor Blackwood and Emma Nilsen as the Chief Of Finance in regards to the current status of the mayor.

Both couldn’t comment at the time. We also had a story due to release in regards to the status of the mayor, however Governor Blackwood was prompt at addressing the nation.
Ex-Mayor Victor Chase, Failed
The truth is, Victor Chase failed.
The crime rate has risen, taxes have risen and nothing has been done about either. Victor Chase had the opportunity to make a difference and didn’t.
Hopefully the new mayor can make a difference.
