Everyone eligible to vote should have received their ballot. Our
focus this primary election is on regional Assembly and State
Senate seats, starting first and foremost with Patrick Ahrens who is
running to replace Evan Low in Assembly District 26, which
represents De Anza College.
These campaigns are important because it is the state legislature
that votes on budgets and bills impacting California Community
Colleges. We are fortunate that most of our regional delegation of
Assembly members and State Senators are champions of
community colleges. We name progressive candidates and/or
incumbents throughout the greater South Bay region with the
understanding that faculty live here and beyond.
With these considerations, the FA-PAC offers the following endorsements:
Patrick Ahrens, Assembly District 26 Patrick Ahren’s for Assembly
Josh Becker, State Senate District 13 (now representing Foothill and De Anza College)
Ash Kalra, Assembly District 25 (San Jose)
Dave Cortese, Senate District 15 (San Jose)
Gail Pellerin, Assembly District 28 (Santa Cruz)
John Laird, Senate District 17 (Santa Cruz)
Alex Lee, Assembly District 24 (East Bay)
Aisha Wahab, Senate District 10 (East Bay)
