Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles
Nithya Raman has shown what progressive leadership looks like, and Our Revolution is proud to endorse her for Mayor of Los Angeles.
As a City Councilmember, Nithya has served as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee — focused on tackling the crisis in LA while working to make city government more responsive to the people it serves.
Before running for office, Nithya spent years working alongside communities across Los Angeles to address homelessness and expand access to affordable housing. An urban planner with degrees from Harvard and MIT, she co-founded the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition, bringing together volunteers to connect unhoused neighbors with housing, services, and support.
Nithya’s campaign is rooted in the belief that solving our biggest challenges requires both compassion and effective government. And she is clear that Angelenos deserve a city that delivers for them.
Her campaign is focused on addressing the housing affordability crisis by building more homes, making it easier to produce affordable housing, and ensuring that working families aren’t priced out of the communities they call home.
Los Angeles voters have repeatedly approved funding to address the crisis, and Nithya believes City Hall has a responsibility to ensure those investments produce measurable results—moving more people into permanent housing while making government more transparent and effective.
Throughout her time in office, Nithya has championed a vision of local government that listens to residents, invests in neighborhoods, and makes it easier—not harder—for people to access city services.
Those priorities reflect the values that have always driven Our Revolution: building power from the grassroots, making government accountable to ordinary people, and ensuring public institutions serve the public—not special interests.
At a time when too many politicians accept the status quo, Nithya continues to demonstrate that bold, people-powered leadership can deliver real change.
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles.
Together, we can continue building a government that works for working people, not the powerful—and prove once again that when grassroots movements organize, we win.
