Councilmember Nithya Raman has received the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America in her mayoral campaign. This endorsement is expected to provide significant resources to her campaign, including door-knocking efforts. The organization's members voted in an online election, with Raman winning over 60% of the vote. Approximately 1,400 members participated in the vote, out of more than 6,000 in the region.

The endorsement may also bring criticism that Raman's views are too far left. Further details about the endorsement and its potential impact on the campaign are available.

The mayoral race is expected to be close, with Raman challenging incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
