Los Angeles Mayor Candidates Debate Immigration, Destitution, and Forest Fires

The debates will feature Bass, Raman and Pratt after the field was narrowed by a 5% polling threshold.

  • Los Angeles mayoral candidates Karen Bass, Councilmember Nithya Raman, and Spencer Pratt begin their first debate on Tuesday at the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Assn., with 28 days remaining until the June 2 primary.
  • With many Angelenos still undecided, these debates offer a critical opportunity for candidates to address key issues like public safety and homelessness.
  • Excluded from the televised debate at the Skirball Center, mayoral hopefuls Rae Huang and Adam Miller criticized the process, noting they failed to meet the 5% polling requirement.
  • Pratt, a registered Republican, hopes to leverage his experience from MTV's The Hills, though politics professor Sara Sadhwani noted he must distance himself from President Trump to appeal to Democratic voters.
  • If no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote on June 2, the two leading contenders will advance to a Nov. 3 runoff to determine the next mayor.
