Nithya Raman’s husband, Vali Chandrasekaran, reportedly brought LA mayor-elect closer to Hollywood

详细摘要

Democratic socialist-backed candidate Nithya Raman won the Los Angeles mayor race after incumbent Karen Bass conceded.

Nithya Raman, the Democratic socialist-backed candidate, defeated incumbent Karen Bass to win the Los Angeles mayor election. Bass conceded on Thursday.

Raman, the Indian-born urban planner, first won a seat to the Los Angeles City Council in 2020. She's been an advocate for the homeless and was an ally of Bass at one point. With this win, Raman has become the first Los Angeles mayoral candidate to defeat an incumbent since 2005.

The win sees Raman become mayor of the second-largest city in the US, which is known the world over for Hollywood. In this aspect, Raman's husband, Vali Chandrasekaran, has reportedly been of help, bringing her closer to the movie industry.

Chandrasekaran is a veteran television writer and producer. He is known for being “unfailingly good-natured” and “deeply committed to a comedy bit,” a New York Times article noted.
