Campaign website
Varma's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Ramit Varma is A NEW KIND OF MAYOR. As the son of immigrants, the value of opportunity was never lost on Ramit — just as his father came to the US to build a better life for himself and his family, Ramit came to Los Angeles to do the same. After receiving his MBA from UCLA, he co-founded Revolution Prep, an online tutoring platform dedicated to making tutoring more effective and higher education more attainable for America’s youth. He built a company from the ground up centered around giving kids and young adults more opportunities to succeed in life. Ramit is running for Mayor of Los Angeles because he loves this city. He lives here with his wife and kids and knows first-hand its potential as the greatest city in the world. Like every other Angeleno, however, he has seen that potential become clouded by instability and lawlessness. Varma is running as an Independent and is not tied to any political party or any special interest. He believes the issues our city is facing are non partisan and we need a non partisan leader who will approach things with practicality, rationality, and empathy. As Mayor of LA, Ramit will focus on three main issues — issues that are responsible for the city’s decline: Homelessness, Affordability, and Public Safety. What used to be a city of opportunity and hope is now infamous for the vast number of people sleeping on the streets, a soaring cost of living, crime, and a lack of accountability. This race is full of career politicians and it's time for something new! We need a mayor who is not focused on appeasing the political elites who got him elected, but who will work with both sides of the aisle to get things done. Ramit Varma is not concerned with climbing the political ladder or leveraging the office to advance his career — he only wants to build a better Los Angeles for the millions of people who call this city home. It’s time to vote for change. It’s time to REBOOT LA! [1] |
