Candidate briefing
Nithya Raman is a Los Angeles City Councilmember for District 4 and the progressive challenger for Mayor of Los Angeles in the 2026 general election. An urban planner and organizer, she advanced from the primary on a platform of housing abundance, tenant protections, and a city government that actually delivers for working people.
Why Political Revolution supports her: she has already beaten entrenched local power once — and she is taking the fight for housing justice and accountable government citywide.
