Los Angeles, United States – On November 5, Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman was declared the winner of the local mayoral race, defeating the incumbent, Karen Bass, with nearly 53 percent of the vote. “Los Angeles, I am deeply honoured to be your next mayor,” Raman, 45, said in a video shared on social media after the results were announced. “I love this city. I believe in its people. The work ahead will be hard, and change will take time. And together, we are going to build a future as extraordinary as the city we call home.” Raman’s victory is the latest example of a candidate who identifies as a democratic socialist notching a win in a major election.
