It was a family affair. Across Los Angeles County, voters brought their sons, granddaughters and mothers to voting centers. One voter even brought his dog, Ace. Some arrived with ballots in hand. Others filled them out at voting machines. But everyone left with one thing in common: an “I Voted” sticker. 📸: @dania_maxwell, @j.w.hendricks, @isaacnceja 03 Nov 2026 Meet Jack, the good boy who’s safeguarding LA County’s elections workers. He’s two years old, a yellow lab, and one of two specially-trained good boys, also known as K-9s, who, together, will sniff all 2 and a half million or so of LA County’s vote by mail ballots in the 2026 midterm elections. He’s looking for dangerous substances hidden in the ballots that could harm or kill election workers and officials. According to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, those substances include lethal powders like anthrax, ricin, and fentanyl. Now, Jack’s not new to this. In fact, this will be Jack’s third election. He works at LA County’s Ballot Processing Center in City of Industry, which has been using ballot sniffing dogs since 2024.

When she takes office, she will be the first South Asian mayor of Los Angeles. Nazmul Chaudhry, owner Deshi Food, a restaurant and grocery store in Little Bangladesh, is proud of that distinction. But what means more to him is that Raman spent time walking the streets of Little Bangladesh, visiting businesses and speaking to community members about their concerns. Chaudhry said that, because of that, he asked all his customers and family members to vote for Raman. At dinner parties, Chaudhry said, Bengalis would share how they were excited to vote for Raman in this election. He said then-candidate Nithya Raman spent time in the historic enclave just north of Koreatown this fall, talking with community members about their problems. For the first time since he moved to the United States in 1989, Chaudhry is excited about a mayoral election. “Everybody’s happy because we’ve never seen anyone [come] like that directly to us,” Chaudhry said.

She described elements of the current permitting process – specifically, regulations required by the county, as overly onerous for street vendors to meet: “If you followed those codes to the letter, it would cost you thousands of dollars to create carts and public food vending operations that met those regulations. That’s not realistic,” Raman told The LA Local’s youth journalists during a Q&A last month. The student journalists from Boyle Heights, East LA, South LA, Koreatown, Pico Union and Westlake met with Raman Oct. 21 and pressed Raman on issues affecting their communities, including homelessness, immigration, street vending, MacArthur Park, youth services, Metro safety and what she would have done differently in response to the Lineage fire.

Here are two groups that helped me ✍️ By Louie Martinez for The LA Local 📹 @thenextfunthing & @weexploreearth 11 Nov 2026 The Los Angeles Police Department led an operation to address traffic issues on Bonnie Brae near 6th Street and towed more than 15 vehicles, according to street vendors. The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) said they were concerned about fire engines not being able to access the street and police conducted the operation after several days of warnings in English and Spanish and citations, according to LAPD Capt. Ben Fernandes. Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez’s office said officers with the LAPD spent two weeks warning individuals with illegally parked vehicles in the area, including speaking directly with vendors and community vendor organizers. “To be honest, they came in a bit too aggressively and started hooking up cars to the tow trucks immediately,” said Diego Tunaya, a street vendor who has sold Guatemalan specialties for over five years.

After Nithya Raman spent time in the neighborhood, he told his customers to vote for her. ㅤ Residents say they're often ignored. This fall, Raman walked the streets, visited businesses and asked about their concerns. Vote returns to date show her ahead of Mayor Karen Bass by 2 to 1 in the area. Now they have a list of what they want from City Hall. ㅤ 🔗 Link in bio for what Little Bangladesh residents want from Raman, and how South Asian leaders read her win. ✍️ Yusra Farzan 📸 Courtesy Nazmul Chaudhry / Yusra Farzan, LAist / Frederic J.
