    Raman responded to the endorsement, saying she would work to bring production back to Los Angeles as mayor through faster permitting, reduced costs for smaller productions, and competitive incentives.

    “As mayor, I'll make City Hall an active partner in bringing production back, by speeding up permitting, reducing costs for smaller productions and making Los Angeles competitive again.”
