Raman unexpectedly announced her campaign in February after previously endorsing incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass. The Indian immigrant pitched her campaign primarily to left-wing voters who disapproved of Bass\u2019 leadership.<\/p>\n

Bass will advance to the runoff election in November, according to the Associated Press (AP) Wednesday. Bass has earned 34.8% of the votes as of publication.<\/p>\n

Pratt stood in second place with 30.4% of votes, over eight points above Raman, who had only received 22.3%, as of publication. Sixty percent of the votes have been counted, and the AP has not yet confirmed the second candidate in the November runoff.

Raman smiled as she thanked her supporters and her husband after she dropped to third place. But she began weeping as she addressed her ten-year-old twins.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope you know that everything every person in this room is fighting for in this campaign has been about building a city that\u2019s worthy of you, and every child in this city,\u201d she said through tears.<\/p>\n

Raman is a Los Angeles city councilwoman and a Democratic socialist. Her website highlights several issues, including homelessness.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inability to equitably and affordably house all of our residents is the compounding moral crisis of our time,\u201d a statement on her website under the \u201cHousing for All\u201d section reads.<\/p>\n

She secured over $4 million in state funding to clean up a 19-mile-long stretch of homeless encampments along the Los Angeles River, The California Post reported. Yet almost two years after she obtained the the state grant, the money remains unspent, according to May 27 records cited by the outlet.<\/p>\n
