"I have deep respect for Mayor Bass. We've worked closely together on my biggest priorities and her biggest priorities, and there's significant alignment there,"
"But over the last few months in particular, I've really begun to feel like unless we have some big changes in how we do things in Los Angeles, that the things we count on are not going to function anymore."
"safety in our streets."
"an icon"
Nithya Raman is running for Los Angeles mayor to challenge incumbent Karen Bass with campaign priorities centered on housing, homelessness, transparency, and street safety. The campaign supports boosting housing production through upzoning of single-family neighborhoods and revising Measure ULA. Raman has ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and to leaders in the YIMBY movement. The announcement arrived hours before the filing deadline amid a turbulent candidate filing period with multiple withdrawals. The entry increases electoral competition and frames Raman as a change agent arguing that substantial governance changes are needed to maintain city services and functions.
