Gavin Newsom Daniel Lurie Nithya Raman San Francisco charter reform Los Angeles mayoral election

In San Francisco, Governor Gavin Newsom has endorsed three charter reform measures—Propositions D, E, and F—proposed by Mayor Daniel Lurie. The measures aim to streamline city government by increasing the signature threshold for ballot measures, reforming contracting procedures, and granting the mayor greater control over city departments. The campaign for these propositions has raised approximately $13.5 million, primarily from wealthy individual donors.

In Los Angeles, City Councilmember Nithya Raman is running for mayor in a runoff election against incumbent Karen Bass. Raman, a democratic socialist, has secured endorsements from YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) housing advocacy groups and progressive organizations. Her platform focuses on aggressive housing supply increases and zoning reform, contrasting with Mayor Bass, who has emphasized maintaining local control over zoning against state mandates.
