Runoff Debate: Bass vs Raman | Los Angeles News

The mayoral race is heating up as Karen Bass and Nithya Raman face off in their first runoff debate, with both candidates needing to win over undecided voters—especially those who backed third-place Spencer Pratt. Bass must prove her current policies will deliver results, while Raman pushes for a fresh start, attacking her record on homelessness and public safety.

With recent data showing a spike in homelessness and fires in key Latino neighborhoods like Boyle Heights, both campaigns are sharpening their messages: Bass touting progress, Raman demanding change.
