DSA Endorses Raman in Mayor Race | California News

City Councilmember Nithya Raman just got a major boost from the Democratic Socialists of America L.A. chapter — a powerful grassroots force known for door-knocking and voter mobilization. With over 60% of DSA-LA members backing her, it’s a huge win as she challenges incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, especially since most unions and the Democratic Party are lining up behind Bass. But this endorsement also puts Raman in the crosshairs — opponents will likely paint her as too radical for LA voters, especially on hot-button issues like public safety and homelessness. Still, Raman’s rise is no fluke: she won her seat in 2020 with DSA-LA’s help and is part of a growing wave of socialist-backed candidates aiming to reshape city policy. With another key labor union, Unite HERE Local 11, also endorsing her, the race is tightening — and the political theater just got more intense.
