Writer & director. MODERN FAMILY, 30 ROCK. Eisner award nominated graphic novel GENIUS ANIMALS? out now!

[Vali Chandrasekaran @therealvali]

Three years ago @junpierre and I set out to make a graphic novel that was weird and funny and featured people who just happened to look like us. As of today, it’s out!

Chapter 1 is available now at https://t.co/bW3apthh8D. New chapters will be released every Tuesday.

RAND just dropped the most comprehensive study yet of Measure ULA.
High-value transactions 31%🔽. Apartment production 30%🔽. Buildings that sold passed the tax through to tenants as higher rents. ~$452M in lost revenue to city, county & schools. ~16,000 construction jobs lost.

[Nithya Raman @nithyavraman]

Los Angeles deserves a mayor that doesn't drag their feet.

Karen Bass promised change. Instead, Angelenos got delays.

It took years to appoint a film liaison. Our animal shelters went years without stable leadership. Whenever our city needs urgency, City Hall moves too slowly.

These aren't just bureaucratic delays. They have real consequences for the people who live and work here.

LA needs a mayor that acts with urgency, builds a strong team, and gets things done. That's the kind of leadership I will bring to City Hall.

Kudos to the Pontiff on the buzziest Encyclical in ages!

[Laura J. Nelson @laura_nelson]

That fine print!

Tuesday is where our book begins, Los Angeles.

Let’s write a new chapter together.

[Vali Chandrasekaran @therealvali]

@Dave_Horwitz I’ve never heard you mention it 🤔

[Nithya Raman @nithyavraman]

Hollywood is key to LA’s economic vitality. 

Under Mayor Bass’s leadership, film production has collapsed in LA. Over 40,000 jobs have been lost.

And things are about to get a lot worse unless the Warner Brothers/Paramount merger is stopped.

[Julia Wick @sherlyholmes]

A lot going on on this West Adams apartment building

Vote for Cynthia Raman on June 2nd!!

[Los Angeles Dept. of Transformation @LA_DOTr]

For a “commie socialist” candidate, @nithyavraman sure has a pro-business list of policy proposals that are focused on making government more efficient and less burdensome. Nithya Raman for mayor of LA

[Joe Cohen @CohenSite]

Nithya's small business policy had dropped. Highlights include:
- Comprehensive permitting & inspection reform
- Rapid response for maintenance, infrastructure, sanitation and homeless outreach in commercial corridors
- Tenant improvement grants & a "vacant to vibrant" program to fill vacant storefronts (modeled after SF)
- Stoping predatory ADA lawsuits
- Working with the state to reform worker's comp insurance

Karen Bass and the Democratic party are playing a very dangerous game with LA by elevating this guy

@Mikel_Jollett @shannonrwatts I know people who change their phonescreen setting to greyscale to help with this issue. They swear by it. Never been able to push myself to do it though

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

Why is Karen Bass boosting the campaign of a MAGA right-winger for Mayor of LA?
@nithyavraman

[Nithya Raman @nithyavraman]

It’s not okay for anyone to be sleeping on the sidewalk in the world’s richest country.

We can fix this.

My promise: When I’m mayor, we’ll cut tents and encampments in half by the Olympics and bring everyone in tents and encampments indoors by the end of my first term.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Hilarious. The best possible outcome for Karen Bass would be facing Spencer Pratt in November.

That’s why she attacks Nithya and not Pratt on her website - because she knows Nithya can beat her, and Pratt can’t.
