LA Mayoral Forum Canceled After Leading Candidates Pull Out
With all three leading candidates absent, event partners said only two lower-profile hopefuls remained and agreed not to proceed.
- Organizers canceled a televised Los Angeles mayoral forum on Fox after Mayor Karen Bass and Nithya Raman withdrew, eliminating all three leading candidates from the event.
- Bass originally committed but withdrew to lobby state officials in Sacramento regarding homelessness and Palisades fire recovery; Raman then canceled, saying her main reason to attend was debating Bass.
- Spencer Pratt declined the forum invitation due to scheduling conflicts, leaving community activist Rae Huang and tech entrepreneur Adam Miller as the only remaining candidates.
- "With only two candidates remaining, the event partners have agreed not to proceed," stated an email from the Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at Cal State Los Angeles and the League of Women Voters.
- Jeff Millman, a spokesperson for Raman's campaign, said, "We welcome opportunities to debate all the candidates in the future," as the June 2 primary approaches.
