Democratic Socialists of America warns Nithya Raman needs to govern like a ‘true democratic socialist’ after mayoral win
The DSA’s Long Beach chapter warned LA mayor-elect Nithya Raman it could oppose her administration if she does not advance its priorities.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has voiced concerns over Los Angeles' incoming mayor, Nithya Raman, urging her to govern according to the movement's principles or risk facing opposition. The Long Beach chapter of DSA, which played a significant role in Raman's election, stated that her administration could be met with resistance if she fails to prioritize affordable housing, workers' rights, and limits on corporate influence in politics.
The chapter raised concerns about Raman's positions on policing, Palestine, and housing, which it believes may not align with the party's agenda. The group praised Raman's association with DSA as a factor in her victory but cautioned that her administration would need to deliver on its policy priorities.
