Nithya Raman Axed From Homelessness Committee Leadership, Alleges Political Payback From Bass Allies


Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman is accusing city leaders of political retaliation after losing her position as chair of the City Council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee, adding another layer of tension to her battle against Mayor Karen Bass.

Raman had led the Housing and Homelessness Committee since 2023. But that changed last week when the committee was split into separate housing and homelessness panels, neither of which Raman will chair.

Bass’ campaign argues Raman has only herself to blame.

“It’s not surprising. Nithya Raman canceled committee meetings for weeks, didn’t show up to votes, and failed to deliver on building more housing or getting people off the streets,” Bass campaign spokesman Alex Stack told The Daily Signal.

“Her signature program has been a failure, spending over $60 million for nearly a year but only filling 3 apartments.”

Raman, however, says the decision was political.
