Nithya Raman, a member of the Los Angeles City Council and a candidate in the recent mayoral primary, was absent from City Hall the day after the election where she finished third, trailing Mayor Karen Bass and newcomer Spencer Pratt. Her absence from both the council meeting and the Homelessness and Housing Committee meeting, which she normally leads, drew criticism from former constituents. Susan Collins, a former resident of Raman's district, stated that her absence indicated that voters made the right choice. Raman's attendance record had already been under scrutiny, as she missed five consecutive committee meetings earlier this year, allowing over 130 items to pile up on the agenda. Following the election results, Raman delivered an emotional speech to her supporters, expressing her commitment to building a better city. With 63.1% of the votes counted, Bass leads with 172,720 votes, Pratt follows with 151,149, and Raman has 110,848 votes.
