LA Mayor Race: Councilmember Raman Advances to Runoff Against Bass

Los Angeles will hold a November 3 mayoral runoff between incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman. Raman finished second in June's primary election, surprising many by entering late but quickly winning support from her district and progressive voters—outpacing television personality Spencer Pratt for the runoff spot. The race now pits two longtime LA insiders against each other.
