A couple of months ahead of the June 2 primary in the Los Angeles mayoral race, Kerala-born Nithya Raman is currently in second place, a few percentage points behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass, according to a recent poll.
In the poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times, City Council member Raman drew 17 percent of the vote compared with veteran Democrat Bass’ 25 percent. Raman remained ahead of conservative reality TV star Spencer Pratt, who registered 14 percent in the poll.
