更新:卡伦·巴斯承认败选:尼蒂娅·拉曼将成为洛杉矶下一任市长,卡伦·巴斯已承认选举失利。
UPDATED with Karen Bass concession statement: Nithya Raman will be Los Angeles’ next mayor as Karen Bass has conceded the race.
洛杉矶县记录官/县书记官周四早上公布的最新选民结果显示,连任两届的市议员拉曼对现任市长巴斯保持着持续扩大的领先优势。
The latest voter results released Thursday morning by the L.A. County-Recorder/County Clerk show Raman, a two-term City Councilmember, with a continuing commanding and growing lead over incumbent Bass.
截至目前,预计选票的72%已计票,拉曼获得429,450票,巴斯获得394,796票。按百分比计算,拉曼以52.1%对47.9%领先。周三晚间,在超过66%的选票被统计时,拉曼以51.67%对48.33%领先。
As of right now, with 72% of the expected vote counted, Raman has 429,450 to Bass’ 394,796. In terms of percentage, that’s a decisive 52.1%-47.9%. On Wednesday night, Raman had 51.67% to Bass’ 48.33% of the vote, with over 66% of ballots tabulated.
在一份声明中,巴斯说:“四年前,你们选我成为洛杉矶历史上第一位黑人女性市长。你们赋予我服务这座养育我的城市的荣誉,自那以后的每一天,我都肩负着这一责任。虽然这不是我们希望的结果,但洛杉矶人民已经表达了意愿。我已致电市议员尼蒂娅·拉曼,祝贺她获胜,并承诺确保权力交接平稳顺畅。推动这座城市向前发展,是洛杉矶需要我们所有人做的事。”
In a statement, Bass said: “Four years ago, you elected me as the first Black woman mayor in the history of Los Angeles. You gave me the honor of serving the city that raised me, and every single day since, I have carried that responsibility with me While this is not the outcome we hoped for, the people of Los Angeles have spoken. I have called Councilmember Nithya Raman to congratulate her on her victory, and I have committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition. Moving this city forward is what Los Angeles needs from all of us.”
自周二大选以来,拉曼的得票一直在稳步增长,而巴斯因其对2025年山火的初步回应、预计的洛杉矶奥运会费用以及生活质量问题而遭到猛烈抨击,其得票一直在下降。尽管今天晚些时候和周五还将公布更多选票,但这一趋势使得巴斯在数学上已无法追上她的前盟友兼挑战者拉曼。
Raman’s vote has been steadily growing since Tuesday’s general election, while Bass, who has been pilloried over her initial response to the 2025 wildfires, projected L.A. Olympics costs and quality-of-life issues, has been going down. While more vote drops are scheduled for later today and Friday, the trajectory made it mathematically impossible for Bass to catch up to her former ally and challenger.
这位务实的73岁资深政客今天发表的声明表明,巴斯正在考虑她在民主党的遗产,随着城市和全国的风向变化。
Today’s statement by the pragmatic 73-year-old veteran pol shows Bass is considering her legacy in the Democratic Party with the way the wind is blowing in the city and nation.
承诺将好莱坞所在地影视制作业复兴作为其政府的首要任务,拉曼的胜利令洛杉矶政坛既得利益者震惊,他们此前坚定支持巴斯。对此,拉曼无疑将迅速着手修复竞选期间在民主党内部出现的分歧。与此同时,本周美国各地中期选举的结果清楚表明,选民渴望变革,这看起来像是一场代际更替。
Pledging to make the revitalization of film and TV production in the home of Hollywooda top priority in her administration, Raman’s win is a shock to the L.A. political establishment, who lined up solidly behind Bass. To that, Raman will surely move quickly to heal divisions that emerged in the party during the campaign. At the same time, as midterm election results across the nation this week made clear, voters want change in what looks to be a generation shift.

就此而言,45岁的拉曼并非洛杉矶历史上最年轻的市长。这一纪录属于阿尔菲厄斯·霍奇斯,他是一名医生,1851年接任洛杉矶市长时年仅28岁,同时兼任洛杉矶验尸官。霍奇斯执掌当时人口不足1700人的城市,任期不足一年。
On that note, the 45-year-old Raman will not be the youngest mayor L.A. has ever had. That distinction goes to Alpheus Hodges, a physician who was 28 when he took over City Hall’s top job in 1851 while also serving as L.A.’s coroner. Hodges led the then city of less that 1,700 for less than a year.
先前报道,11月4日下午:洛杉矶投票站关闭不到24小时,尼蒂娅·拉曼似乎已稳坐天使之城下一任市长的位置。
PREVIOUSLY, November 4 PM: Less than 24 hours after polls closed in Los Angeles, Nithya Raman looks poised to be the City of Angels’ next mayor.
周三清晨早些时候,在与卡伦·巴斯的竞选中略微领先——这场竞选在过去几周一直处于统计平局状态——这位两届市议会议员现在对现任市长的领先优势进一步扩大。
Taking a slight lead early Wednesday morning in her race with Karen Bass that has been a statistical tie for the past few weeks, the two-term City Council member is now even a little bit further ahead of the incumbent.
在投票率强劲的中期选举之后,包括邮寄选票在内,拉曼获得405,193票,巴斯获得379,069票。就目前已计票的百分比而言,挑战者拉曼为51.67%,一届市长巴斯为48.33%。县官员表示,总体而言,预计选票中约66%已计票。
Coming off a midterm election with strong turnout, including via mail-in ballots, Raman has 405,193 votes to Bass’ 379, 069. In terms of percentage of votes counted so far, that’s 51.67% for the challenger and 48.33% for the one-term Bass. Overall, around 66% of the expected votes have been counted, county officials state.
在今晚的最新一轮计票中,拉曼的得票略有上升,而巴斯的得票有所下降。
Raman’s vote has inched up, while Bass’ has dipped in the latest vote count drop this evening.
如果这一趋势持续下去,在未来几天有更多选票计入,巴斯很难看出能战胜拉曼的获胜路径。洛杉矶县记者/县书记办公室计划于周四太平洋时间上午9点以及11月6日进行额外的选票计票。
If the trend continues, with more vote count over the next few days, it is impossible to see what path to victory Bass could have over Raman. Additional vote drops are planned by the L.A. County-Recorder/County Clerk for 9 am PT Thursday and on November 6.
即便如此,今年市长选举的最终结果预计将比2022年快得多。那场选举花了将近10天才确定时任国会议员巴斯战胜开发商里克·卡鲁索。
As it is, a final result in this year’s mayoral election looks to be determined far quicker than in 2022. It took almost 10 days for that race to be called for then Congresswoman Bass over developer Rick Caruso.
这次,卡鲁索基本上与他的老对手巴斯站在了一起,民主党占据主导地位的洛杉矶的大部分建制派也是如此。现在看来,他们押错了候选人。
This time around, Caruso essentially lined up with his old rival Bass, as did most of the establishment in Democratic-dominated L.A. Now, it looks like they bet on the wrong candidate.
尽管巴斯和拉曼都承诺,在经历了几年严重下滑后,将帮助振兴洛杉矶的电影和电视制作,但第4区议员表示,她将以现任市长所不及的方式将此问题列为优先事项。拉曼承诺,在她就任市长的头几天,将在市长办公室任命一位“电影事务专员”。拉曼一再强调,她不仅作为一名代表好莱坞一片区域的地方政客,而且因为她是《30 Rock》制片人兼编剧瓦利·钱德拉塞克兰的妻子,所以对该行业有直接了解。
While both Bass and Raman have pledged to help revitalize film and TV production in L.A. after several harsh years of decline, the District 4 Councilmember says she will prioritize the issue in a way the incumbent has not. Raman promises to have a Film Czar on staff and in the Mayor’s office in her opening mayoral days. Raman has repeatedly stressed she has direct knowledge of the industry not only as a local politician representing a swath of Hollywood, but due to the fact she is married to 30 Rock producer and writer Vali Chandrasekaran.

此前,太平洋时间凌晨4点:经过一场有时比Bravo真人秀节目更具个人色彩的竞选活动,洛杉矶尚未选出市长。
PREVIOUSLY, 4 AM PT: After a campaign that got more personal at times than a Bravo reality series, no one has been elected mayor of Los Angeles yet.
在这场民主党内部的竞选中,老盟友议员尼蒂娅·拉曼和现任市长卡伦·巴斯为许多相同的选民而战,迄今的结果反映出两位候选人在过去两周内一直处于势均力敌的状态。
In a Democrat-vs.-Democrat race that saw old allies Councilmember Nithya Raman and incumbent Karen Bass face off for many of the same constituents, the results so far reflect the dead heat the candidates had been in for the past two weeks.
到太平洋时间周三凌晨4点,拉曼以51.1%对48.9%微弱领先巴斯,已计票738,322张(占62.7%)。
By 4 a.m. PT on Wednesday, Raman had taken a narrow lead over Bass, 51.1% vs. 48.9%, with 738,322 votes (62.7%) counted.
差距非常接近,因此最终计票结果至少还需要几天才能确定。此外,由于预计投票的约三分之二已计入,一旦当天投票开始计入,拉曼可能会出现一波上升,因为她的核心支持者——年轻的洛杉矶人倾向于在选举日去投票。
The margin is so close that it will likely be a few days at least before a final count is recorded. Also, with about two-thirds of the expected vote now accounted for, Raman could see a surge once the day-of votes start coming in as her core base of younger Angelenos tend to go to the polls on Election Day.
截至太平洋时间周二晚上10点48分,在近50万张选票计入后,巴斯获得了已计票选票的50.7%,拉曼获得49.3%。
As of 10:48 p.m. PT Tuesday, with nearly 500,000 votes counted, Bass had 50.7% of the tallied votes and Raman 49.3%.
周二晚间,随着加州及全国各地的民主党人在所谓的“蓝色海啸”中执掌权力,KTLA主持人将洛杉矶市长竞选称为“一场疯狂的旅程”。当然,从第四选区连任议员拉曼在最后一刻加入市长争夺,到《丛林的法则》前演员、前帕利塞兹居民、特朗普粉丝斯宾塞·普拉特的煽动性初选竞选,今年的市长选举已非同寻常。再加上商场开发商、2022年候选人里克·卡鲁索的反复无常、好莱坞合并以及电影和电视制作的萎缩,还有民主党精英的背书,整个过程已然疯狂——即便以洛杉矶的政治标准来看也是如此。
On Tuesday night, as Democrats across the state and the nation were swept into power on a so-called blue tsunami, KTLA anchors called the bid for the City of Angels’ top job “a wild ride.”Certainly from two-term District 4 representative Raman jumping into the mayoral fray at the last minute, and the incendiary primary campaign of The Hills alum / ex-Palisades resident / Donald Trump fan Spencer Pratt, this year’s mayor’s race has been remarkable. Add to that, the whims of mall builder and 2022 candidate Rick Caruso, Hollywood mergers and the decline of film and TV production and the endorsements of the Democratic elite, and the whole thing has been crazed — even by L.A. political standards.
在所有选票计票完毕前,巴斯宣称自己“充满信心”能够获胜,她周二在好莱坞举办了一场观看活动。拉曼则在格里菲斯公园的希腊剧院与支持者聚在一起,等待选举结果。从六月初选时巴斯的大幅领先,到一个月前拉曼的两位数领先,两位候选人都在争夺普拉特的选民,以期在选举中占据优势。
Declaring herself “confident” of victory when all is said and counted, Bass had a watching event in Hollywood on Tuesday. Raman gathered with supporters at the Greek Theatre in Griffith Park as they awaited results. From a big Bass lead around the June primary to a double-digit lead by Raman a month ago, both candidates were fighting for Pratt voters to gain the electoral edge.
今晚,普拉特嘲讽巴斯和拉曼“势均力敌”,并额外抨击现任市长,讽刺她竟陷入如此胶着的局面。“天哪,现在我们要三个星期才能分出胜负了,LOL。”巴斯和拉曼(后者与一位电视编剧兼制片人结婚)都承诺改善条件,让在洛杉矶拍摄更加容易且更具性价比。尽管这位现任市长在加州电影和电视税收优惠方面有着悠久的历史,但她因仅在连任前夕才真正动用职权来遏制洛杉矶制作业和行业就业的急剧下降而受到批评。拉曼则被指责在该问题上的关键市议会投票中缺席。
Tonight, Pratt mocked Bass and Raman for being “neck and neck” with an extra swipe at the incumbent for finding herself in such a tight position. “Man, now we won’t have a clear winner for like 3 weeks LOL” Both Bass and Raman, the latter of whom is married to a TV writer-producer, have promised to improve conditions to make it easier and more affordable to film in L.A.. For all her history around the state’s film and TV tax incentives, the incumbent has been criticized for only truly turning the power of her office to stemming the sharp decline in production and industry jobs in the City of Angels as her re-election loomed. Raman has been accused of missing vital City Council votes on the issue.
今年夏天,随着州总检察长办公室针对派拉蒙以1110亿美元收购华纳兄弟探索公司的反垄断诉讼升温,巴斯与加州州长加文·纽森以及放映商一起,敦促总检察长罗布·邦塔与大卫·埃里森达成协议,后者据传曾威胁要离开加州。WGA支持的拉曼一向反对派拉兄弟交易,但一旦埃里森在联邦法官批准后实现了他的企业梦想,拉曼于10月1日在一次好莱坞聚会上公开向这位甲骨文继承人伸出橄榄枝,表示愿意合作。
This summer, as the antitrust lawsuit from state Attorney General’s office against Paramount’s $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros Discovery picked up steam, Bass joined Gov. Gavin Newsom and exhibitors in pushing AG Rob Bonta to strike a deal with David Ellison as the CEO was whispered to be threatening to leave California. The WGA-endorsed Raman was always opposed to the ParaBros deal, but once Ellison achieved his corporate dream with the sign-off by a federal judge, Raman used a Hollywood confab on October 1 to publicly offer a hand to the Oracle scion to work together.
与普拉特一样,巴斯和拉曼都支持一项两党联邦电影和电视税收抵免计划。随着民主党今晚取得重大胜利,该计划是否会成为首要任务,还有待观察。
Along with Pratt, both Bass and Raman back a bipartisan federal film and TV tax credit. With the Democrats’ big wins tonight, whether passing that program is a top priority or not remains to be seen.
