Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath has endorsed Nithya Raman, becoming the first county supervisor to back the challenger against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
The endorsement is noteworthy because the other four county supervisors and 13 of Raman’s City Council colleagues — including fellow DSA members — support Bass. Council member Traci Park says she intends to vote for Bass, but stopped short of an endorsement.
LA leaders endorsing Raman:
Lindsey Horvath, LA County supervisor, District 3
Kenneth Mejia, LA city controller
Rocio Rivas, LAUSD school board member
Raman also has backing from Unite Here Local 11, the Los Angeles Democratic Socialists of America chapter, and LA Forward.
LA leaders endorsing Bass:
Hilda Solis, LA County supervisor
Holly Mitchell, LA County supervisor
Janice Hahn, LA County supervisor
Kathryn Barger, LA County supervisor
Robert Luna, LA County sheriff
Hydee Feldstein Soto, LA city attorney
Marqueece Harris-Dawson, LA City Council president
Eunisses Hernandez, LA city councilmember
Ysabel Jurado, LA city councilmember
Hugo Soto-Martínez, LA city councilmember
Katy Yaroslavsky, LA city councilmember
Monica Rodriguez, LA city councilmember
Bass also has the endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
The election is November 3rd.
