Breaking News from Los Angeles! 🚨
In a shocking last-minute move, City Councilmember Nithya Raman has entered the Los Angeles mayoral race, directly challenging current Mayor Karen Bass in the June primary election.
Just hours before the filing deadline, Raman — once a political ally of Bass — announced her candidacy, saying Los Angeles is at a breaking point and needs big changes. The surprise entry comes amid growing criticism over the city’s handling of housing costs, homelessness, infrastructure issues, and the recent Palisades fire response.
Mayor Karen Bass’s campaign has responded strongly, defending her record on public safety, affordable housing, and reducing street homelessness. With multiple candidates in the race, this election is shaping up to be one of the most intense political battles in Los Angeles history.
