Rolling out <\/a>his Hollywood policy last week, Becerra vowed to hold an entertainment summit early in his administration to gather input from stakeholders. Tom Steyer has likewise pledged to expand the program, but has not endorsed an uncapped tax credit.<\/p>\n\n\tAmong the candidates for governor, only Matt Mahan and Antonio Villaraigosa have pledged to eliminate the cap entirely, though none has said how much that would cost. Raman has not endorsed any of the candidates.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe state\u2019s $750 million tax incentive is set to expire in 2030. On Friday, Raman also urged the candidates for governor to seek an early extension of the program to ensure stability.<\/p>\n
\n\tShe also took a swipe at Pratt for sharing campaign videos generated by AI \u2014 a sensitive subject for many in the industry.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI would say to people who really care about the state of Los Angeles, and to people who care about keeping Hollywood in L.A., I would choose away from the candidate who has relied on sharing AI videos as his primary mode of communication about these issues,\u201d Raman said.<\/p>\n
\n\tRaman was also asked about a report in L.A. Material that her campaign had reached out to Rae Huang, a candidate to her left, to urge her to drop out and consolidate the Democratic Socialist vote. Raman confirmed that her campaign had had discussions with Huang.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI think both of us feel very real alarm about the idea that \u2014 even if it\u2019s only for the next five months \u2014 that we could have Spencer Pratt and millions of dollars fueled by a nationwide MAGA network essentially corroding the civic life of the city,\u201d Raman said. \u201cThat to me is something that strikes real fear in my heart, and I think it\u2019s definitely worth figuring out how to achieve the bold positive progressive vision that I have and that she shares for Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
