Executive Board Elections

Our special guest at this meeting is Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens representing Assembly District 26, which includes Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Alviso and West San Jose. A native of Silicon Valley, Ahrens is deeply committed to addressing the challenges faced by his constituents in one of the most dynamic yet demanding regions of California.

Check out his recent press conference opposing cuts to the Head Start Program. He was supported by a bipartisan coalition that included 3/4 of the legislature.

Prior to joining the Assembly, Ahrens served as a Trustee on the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board, where he led efforts to build affordable housing for faculty, staff, and students, and collaborated with Santa Clara County to establish a first-in-the-state medical clinic at De Anza College.

Assemblymember Ahrens is the Co-Chair of the California Legislative Technology & Innovation Caucus, and a Member of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus and the Bay Area Caucus.

After his first 100 days in office, Assemblymember Ahrens will give us an update on his current legislative agenda.
