Incumbent mayor Karen Bass and District 4 City Councilmember Nithya Raman each hosted watch parties on Tuesday’s election night in support of their mayoral campaigns.
Both events – hosted less than four miles away from each other – brought hundreds of supporters and welcomed the candidates’ families.
Nithya Raman will serve as Los Angeles’ next mayor. The Associated Press called the race Thursday.
“We fought back, not with fear or with division, but with hope and community,” Raman said.
