Rahki Israni-- Is she another Fetterman?

" The latest is the “California Democracy Alliance” spending over $262,000 for Rakhi Israni. It’s actually registered in Washington, D.C. Expats, perhaps." [Corrected. The $716k was for all candidates.] --From Matt Ortega.

Her ads are swamping the airwaves now with so little information, and someone is putting her signs all over where they're not supposed to be.

Oooh. Thanks, guys. A lot of good actual facts. I like Matt, but we need Aisha in congress now. She is the fighter we need with tons of experience and ready to take it all on.

on bluevoterguide.org this is what it says about her!

Democratic Party

Long history of funding Republican candidates; endorsed by right-wing Hindu nationalist group ^([1]) ^([2]) ^([3])

Read East Bay Insiders to get some good reporting. He is saying the pro Isreal and Hindu nationalists are now looking to expand to supporting Israni against Wahab.

This from East Bay Insiders. If you don't get this news source and live in the east bay, it's the only one I've found that does such detailed reporting.

In my area (SF bay area) there are so many people that we are finding out are running as Democrats and Independents lying even though they are clearly way right in a bad way. Before this election, I had not seen it. Now they're trying to hide.

Neither are an option, and I am Wahab all of the way, but wondering if we know the real scoop. Someone in the know mentioned to me the dirt about Hernandez is why she ditched the debate, but no particulars. And someone else I know who always puts signs out for the worst candidates (like Ahern) just put Melissa's up, so I know she's got something bad in there. She also has the old school Hayward CC siding with her who always cheer for the worst because they ware mad Aisha called them out. (They sided with Lily Mei for the state senate seat, possibly the most corrupt mayor ever.)

Looking things up. She won BART board of directors over GRCAR, the CV area Luis Reynoso--a rightwingnut who never does anything to help anyone, but runs for every office. Tom Wong is a wannabe of these two and runs for every office, too. So her win there is like beating the pedophile.

And looking on her site is like looking at Lily Mei's site back when--the only endorsements are mayors. So they all support each other no matter how corrupt they are.

Thank you to DonVCastro for getting all of the details since I was just posting quickly.

It's a bill by Aisha Wahab that would apply some transparency rules to the direct grants made by individual Supes from their office funds to local nonprofits, by requiring a vote of the full BOS and a contract with the nonprofit that describes what the money is for and how it will benefit the entire county. I guess the point of the video, which I'm not going to watch, is that the BOS voted to oppose the bill.

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB1193

I would have much preferred if the BOS had worked with Wahab to tweak the language to meet any legitimate concerns that they have, but otherwise I feel like anything that brings oversight and accountability to the BOS is worthwhile. It's a real wild west clown show over there, and a very very expensive one that doesn't return a ton of terrific benefits to county residents.

I heard about the amazing bakery and dropped by once on my way through. OMG. Just off the freeway. Then I saw it posted that they moved and would reopen in a month. I found it and had to drive through town to find it, and nothing.
