Nithya Raman Projected to Win Los Angeles Mayor’s Race, Defeating Karen Bass
Decision Desk H.Q. called the race with Raman ahead by more than 3 percentage points as mail-in ballots remained to be counted.
- Nithya Raman is projected to become Los Angeles's next mayor, unseating incumbent Karen Bass with a lead exceeding three percent as Decision Desk announced her victory with nearly three-quarters of expected votes tallied.
- Voter anger over housing affordability, entertainment production exodus, and the Palisades wildfire response fueled the election, as Raman ran an insurgent campaign against the local Democratic Party machine.
- A Harvard- and MIT-trained urban planner, Raman garnered significant Hollywood support while championing Measure ULA, the "Mansion Tax," before criticizing its unintended consequences on apartment construction.
- Raman's victory establishes a progressive triumvirate at City Hall alongside City Controller Kenneth Mejia and City Attorney Marissa Roy, as Bass concludes her tenure as the city's second Black mayor.
- The city's upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics hosting will overlap with Raman's term, with former Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy recently taking over ceremony oversight from Peter Rice, who joined Netflix.
