Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman announced a late bid for mayor, challenging former ally Karen Bass in the June primary and campaigning on housing, homelessness, transparency and street safety. Her entry comes amid a chaotic filing week and ongoing criticism of Bass over the Palisades fire response, with Raman having previously praised Bass but now urging big changes.
With the noon filing deadline looming, Los Angeles’ mayoral race is in unusual flux: former schools chief Austin Beutner dropped out, Lindsey Horvath remains undecided, and Rick Caruso briefly flirted with a bid before declining. New contenders such as Adam Miller, Spencer Pratt, Rae Huang, and Maryam Zar are weighing or entering the race, while Bass’s handling of the Palisades fire has weakened her position. Donors appear to be waiting to see who jumps in, making a runoff highly likely in a crowded field.
