Democratic and Independent likely voters in the 26th Assembly District need to read the following about Patrick Ahrens:
Ahrens’s Office helped the state legislature ram through a billion-dollar bailout for PG&E, after they caused the Camp Fire that killed 84 people, were convicted of six felonies, and continue to jack up rates on people. In return, PG&E has now spent six figures on behalf of Ahrens’ campaign.
The cost of everything is skyrocketing, but Ahrens voted to raise tuition five times by a total of 42 percent, helped allow utility companies jack up their rates, and pushed to raise property taxes while borrowing millions of dollars.
Ballot Statement
COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDMEMBER/STATE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR/CLIMATE & CONSERVATION NONPROFIT FOUNDER
Our families pay the price when politicians don’t say no to special interests. I’ve lived the challenges we face, defended our values, and gotten results.
I’m a cancer survivor. In my 20s, I overcame misdiagnosis and a healthcare system that routinely fails to meet women’s needs. I’ll fight for better, more affordable healthcare. I’m rated 100% by Planned Parenthood. I’ll always defend women’s right to choose.
My parents were immigrants who went from poverty to achieving the American Dream. Mom’s a librarian. Dad’s an engineer. But like you, I’m worried that dream is falling out of reach. Sacramento must do more to protect the middle class and rein in soaring costs.
I learned how to fight for change by fighting the biggest polluter in Santa Clara County. Together with neighbors, we shut down Lehigh Cement’s 100-year-old quarry, which was poisoning our air and waterways. I serve the community, not special interests. On the County School Board, I raised teacher pay and raised student achievement. As a State Legislative Director, I’ve fought fentanyl, held insurance companies accountable, and helped lead California’s landmark homelessness audit to get tax dollars spent better on truly improving the tragedy on our streets.
I’ve overcome tough challenges in my life and for our community. I’m ready to confront our biggest problems: rising costs, public safety, our housing and homelessness crisis. I’d be honored to represent you.
