That's one of many reasons she's running to serve the people of AD26 in Sacramento. Tara Sreekrishnan shares that her objectives are: 1) To make sure our kids have good schools, our workers have good-paying jobs, and our streets are safe. 2) To fight for high quality, affordable health insurance, housing, and lower utility costs for Californians who are struggling to just get by. Tara Sreekrishnan reports that her life background puts her in the perfect position to represent AD26 in Sacramento. "I am a lifelong resident of our District and an elected member of the Santa Clara County Board of Education. I have been a champion for educational excellence, early learning, and mental health services," she says. Tara Sreekrishnan has played a pivotal role in initiatives like supporting teachers, closing the digital divide through laptops and internet access, and fighting our fentanyl crisis among youth. Tara's mom was a school librarian at the same K-12 public schools that Tara attended here in this district: Cupertino Union School District & Fremont Union High School District. So you ask who is Tara Sreekrishnan? Tara Sreekrishnan has worked professionally to cut red tape and create real change in all levels of local government -- school district, city, county, and state.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.)
