The Writers’ Guild of America West’s Political Action Committee has endorsed Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman for the city’s mayor race. The endorsement highlights her support for organized labor and increased production in the local entertainment industry. Raman’s "Save Hollywood Jobs" plan and her support for striking writers in 2023 were cited as key factors in the endorsement.
WGAW President Michele Mulroney praised Raman for her commitment to protecting jobs and supporting the entertainment industry. This endorsement follows the WGAW PAC’s previous support for Raman in her bid for a seat on Los Angeles City Council. Raman has pledged to work with entertainment workers to bring production back to Los Angeles, speed up permitting, and reduce costs for smaller productions.
She is currently running against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, who has also been involved in legal disputes regarding the pending $110 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.
