Huang, deputy director of Housing Now California and member of the Los Angeles DSA, could potentially draw votes from Basss base and prevent a runoff election. Her platform focuses on housing for all, a people-centric economy, and free metro services, with no corporate donations. Meanwhile, former LAUSD Superintendent Austin Beutner and incumbent Mayor Karen Bass also vie for the position.
