A member of the Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America who was recently elected to L.A. City Council has been targeted for a recall less than six months after taking office.

The Los Angeles Times reported, “CD4 for CD4, a campaign committee formed last month, served Councilwoman Nithya Raman with a recall notice outside her Silver Lake home Wednesday.” Raman has 21 days to respond to the notice if she chooses to do so. If city officials approve the petition, the group could begin gathering signatures to oust her on July 7, 2021. According to the Times, “the committee argued that Raman’s office is inexperienced, unresponsive and too politically radical for her constituents to endure a full four-year term.”
