Nithya Raman is Los Angeles District 4's City Councilmember. 

Aside from celebrating her district's restaurants which she says are the best in the city, Raman's top priority is to partner with other city councilmembers, non-profits and advocates to create a coherent approach to combating homelessness in Los Angeles. What inspires her the most about District 4 is the willingness of those across the district to enthusiastically give back and help their neighbors. 

Raman was inspired to run for office by the words of a homelessness relief advocate, "Do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes." During her morning commutes she listens to the radio and is shocked that A-ha is still played.
