L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman cast her vote early Tuesday within an hour of polling places opening.
Surrounded by her family, the candidate spoke to media outside of a Silver Lake polling location.
In May, just weeks before the Primary election, Raman sat down with CALÓ News to talk about her platform and why she wanted to bring in a different kind of vision to the city's top office.
