Plugged jets or a low fuel level in the fuel bowl of the carburetor. Low fuel level can be caused by a weak fuel pump or more likely a problem with the needle and seat.

Why isn't gas getting to the lawn mower carburetor?

The key word you used is "to". Does that mean that you've taken the gas line off and gas is not getting to the carburetor? Or that gas is not getting in the carburetor? If it is not getting to the carb then there is a blockage in the gas tank, gas line or gas filter. If it is getting to the carb and just not getting inside then it is probably a stuck float valve. Sometimes just a little tapping on the side of the bowl will free it up enough to work. If not, you will have to remove the carb and free up the stuck parts.
