Aisha Wahab is a community leader fighting for solutions to put the American dream within our reach. When she won her seat on Hayward City Council in 2018, Aisha made national headlines as the first Afghan-American woman elected to public office in the United States. As Mayor Pro Tempore & City Council Member of Hayward, Aisha has implemented policies that reduce economic inequality, expand homeownership opportunities, support small businesses, and strengthen safety nets for seniors, women, children and working families. For Aisha, working to establish and improve these programs is personal.
With the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, reproductive freedoms of women and pregnant people across the country are at risk. I firmly believe in a person's right to make medical decisions for themselves. I’m proud to be only candidate endorsed by Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice, the Legislative Women’s Caucus, and have the trust of many other organizations that prioritize this issue.
