Quiz: Which LA Mayor Candidate Are You? The 2-Minute Test

Answer 5 questions about what matters most to you, and find out which LA Mayor candidate — Bass, Raman, or Pratt — best matches your values for 2026.

LA's June 2 primary is less than four weeks away. You know the names — Karen Bass, Nithya Raman, Spencer Pratt — but do you know which one actually shares your priorities? Answer five honest questions and find out.

Question 1: You walk past a large tent encampment near your home. What should the city do?

A

Offer shelter beds first, move the camp only after everyone has a place to go

→ Matches: Raman

B

Clear it now — enforce the law and connect people to services after

→ Matches: Pratt

C

Move people into temporary shelter while working toward permanent housing

→ Matches: Bass

Question 2: Your rent went up 15% this year. What's the right response?

A

Expand rent control and strengthen tenant protections citywide

→ Matches: Raman

B

Build more housing to bring down prices through supply

→ Matches: Pratt

C

Both — protect renters now and build more over time

→ Matches: Bass

Question 3: The LAPD is understaffed. What should the Mayor prioritize?

A

Hire significantly more officers and restore law enforcement capacity

→ Matches: Pratt

B

Invest in community programs that address root causes of crime

→ Matches: Raman

C

Moderate increase in officers plus reform of use-of-force policies

→ Matches: Bass

Question 4: The city has a $1 billion budget deficit. How do you fix it?

A

Cut city spending and reduce the size of government

→ Matches: Pratt

B

Raise taxes on high earners and corporations to maintain services

→ Matches: Raman

C

A mix of targeted cuts and new revenue sources

→ Matches: Bass

Question 5: The Palisades wildfire response is your biggest concern heading into this election. Who do you blame?

A

Karen Bass — she was out of the country and the city was unprepared

→ Matches: Pratt

B

A system failure that goes beyond any one person — we need structural change

→ Matches: Raman

C

It's complicated — I want to see better preparation without changing leadership

→ Matches: Bass

What your answers mean

Mostly A's → Nithya Raman

You prioritize tenant protections, community-led homelessness solutions, and a more progressive approach to city governance. Raman is the current frontrunner in prediction markets at 55% and aligns most closely with your values.

Mostly B's → Spencer Pratt

You want a harder line on public order, fiscal discipline, and encampment enforcement. Pratt is the only candidate explicitly running on this platform — he's at 21% in prediction markets but has momentum among voters frustrated with the status quo.

Mostly C's → Karen Bass

You want continuity on homelessness progress while demanding better wildfire preparedness. Bass has housed over 21,000 people through Inside Safe but faces real accountability questions. She's at 28% in prediction markets — a tough primary, but still in the race.
