Raman Challenges Harris-Dawson’s Committee Split | Los Angeles News

City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson is set to split the Housing and Homelessness Committee, sidelining Councilwoman Nithya Raman—who chairs it and is running against Mayor Karen Bass—in a move seen as political maneuvering. Raman, proud of her record including renter protections and a 50% drop in street homelessness in her district, counters that citywide numbers show a troubling rise in unhoused residents. The mayor’s camp credits her district’s success to her “Inside Safe” program, which she denies, blaming inaction from the mayor’s office. With committee restructuring looming, the clash underscores deeper tensions over leadership and accountability in LA’s fight against homelessness.
