NIthya Raman
is running for Mayor of Los Angeles.

I don’t think I am alone in feeling that our city is falling behind. Housing costs are rising and LA has become a difficult place to live. The city’s failure to prepare for last January’s tragic fire, a too-expensive and fractured mismanagement of homelessness, slow 911 response times, entire neighborhoods left in the dark by broken streetlights, a $1 billion budget deficit, and a lack of action against an adversarial federal government sending ICE agents onto our streets show that LA is not being led with the clarity or accountability this moment demands.

I’m running for Mayor to make LA more affordable and to meet this moment with honesty and urgency and hard work.

Los Angeles is the most incredible city in the world. This campaign is about honoring what this city has given us - and giving back to this city what its people deserve. The political establishment will spend millions in this election to maintain our broken status quo - but with your help, we can build a more hopeful LA.
