Rivals for LA mayor set to meet in forum as city struggles with homelessness, Hollywood job losses
Bass and Raman will answer questions on Israel, homelessness and the 2028 Olympics before nearly 1,000 Jewish community members, organizers said.
- On Tuesday, Mayor Karen Bass and City Council member Nithya Raman will meet at a forum hosted by the Jewish Federation Los Angeles, just days before mail ballots arrive at homes in early October.
- Bass is fighting to retain her position after a challenging first term marred by the destructive Palisades Fire, the most destructive in Los Angeles history that ignited when she was out of the country.
- City Council member Raman is testing whether voters want to shift further left to address homelessness and gridlock, while about 25% of voters who supported Spencer Pratt remain undecided.
- Bass maintains backing from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, Vice President Kamala Harris, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, though the contest unfolds as Democrats remain divided over Gaza and Israel.
- As the financially challenged city prepares to manage the 2028 Olympics, observers note the race could mirror New York's shift toward democratic socialist leadership, with voters weighing gridlock and Hollywood job losses.
