In the final stretch before Los Angeles’ primary election, the leading mayoral candidates—incumbent Karen Bass, City Councilmember Nithya Raman, and former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt—spent the weekend campaigning across the city to win over undecided voters.

With recent polling showing a tight race between the three, Bass held a modest lead at 26%, followed closely by Raman at 25% and Pratt at 22%, within the margin of error and with a notable share of undecided voters still in play.

Mayor Bass focused on mobilizing traditional Democratic support, appearing at union-backed events and community gatherings where she highlighted progress on homelessness reduction through programs like Inside Safe and broader public safety improvements.

Her supporters credited her administration with visible improvements in neighborhoods such as Venice, though she acknowledged that significant work remains.

Raman, emphasizing detailed policy proposals and grassroots organizing, spent her weekend engaging with small business owners, community volunteers, and university students.

She campaigned across neighborhoods like Echo Park, Sawtelle, Koreatown, Silver Lake, and Boyle Heights, framing her campaign as a people-powered effort without large political machinery.Supporters praised her focus on housing affordability, sustainability, and city planning reform.

Pratt, meanwhile, adopted a more unconventional approach, hosting community events in South Los Angeles and emphasizing listening sessions with residents affected by homelessness and economic hardship.

While drawing attention with rallies and block parties, he also sought quieter conversations, even sharing personal contact information with constituents to follow up on concerns.His message centered on empathy, civic engagement, and addressing homelessness and addiction more directly.With the top two candidates advancing to a November runoff unless someone secures a majority, the race remains highly competitive.

All three campaigns continued intensive outreach efforts, recognizing that voter turnout and undecided voters could ultimately determine who advances beyond the primary.
