Nithya Raman, mayor-elect of Los Angeles, held back tears as the enormity of her victory began to sink in. “This city has given me and my family so much,” Raman, an Indian-born urban planner who came to the United States at the age of six, told supporters in Los Angeles on Thursday night, after projections showed her winning the mayoral race . “The idea that Angelenos voted for an immigrant to be their next mayor at this moment in American history is so deeply moving to me,” the 45-year-old said. Raman’s victory means that three of the world’s most influential cities – New York, Los Angeles and London – will now be led by individuals of South Asian descent.
