Los Angeles City Councilwoman-elect Nithya Raman Tuesday announced the names of her transition advisory team, which includes a former chief of staff for Councilman David Ryu, who she defeated in the November election.

Raman’s transition team is set to begin work Dec. 14.

“I’m so thrilled to announce the members of my transition advisory team, who are generously donating their time and expertise to our office during this crucial moment,” Raman said in a prepared statement.

“Together they represent a wealth of knowledge, ranging from the inner workings of the city and county and how to get things done, to understanding intimately the most urgent needs of working Angelenos. They will be advising us into the first months of my tenure, and we are so grateful for them.”

Raman will represent Council District Four, which includes portions of Hollywood and the south San Fernando Valley.

Raman’s transition advisory team consists of:

— Sarah Dusseault, who has more than 20 years of public service experience as a policy expert and problem-solver, working in Los Angeles city government and numerous campaigns, including as Ryu’s chief of staff from 2015 to 2018. Dusseault is a member of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority Commission. Appointed by Supervisor Hilda Solis, she is the outgoing commission chair and chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on Governance Reform;

— Miguel A. Santana, who has more than 30 years of public service experience working in Los Angeles County and city government and the non-profit sector. In 2021 Santana will start his new role as the president and CEO of the Weingart Foundation;

— Victor Narro, a nationally known expert on the workplace rights of immigrant workers who has been involved with immigrant rights and labor issues for many years, according to Raman. Narro is the project director for the UCLA Labor Center;
