Democrat Serving in the State Assembly
Rebecca Bauer-Kahan was elected to the State Assembly in 2018 to represent the 16th Assembly District. She immediately made her mark on the legislature when she was selected by her colleagues to serve in the Assembly leadership as Assistant Speaker pro Tempore and Chair of the Select Committee on Women's Reproductive Health – the first committee of its kind in the nation.
Rebecca knows first hand the transportation issues facing our community. Our roads are in rough shape, our infrastructure is crumbling, and BART is unsafe and unreliable. That is why she is focusing on delivering resources for our community that will ease our regional transportation congestion, reducing traffic and improving transportation options for everyone. She is a stronger voice to ensure our district has a voice at the table to advocate and deliver for us in Sacramento.
​
In the Assembly, she is working to improve transportation options, finding traffic solutions and investing in our crumbling infrastructure, including fixing our roads, working to make BART more reliable and safer, creating more BART parking, and working to connect the Central Valley and the Tri-Valley to the rest of the Bay Area.
​
She has helped local governments earn more funding from competitive state transportation grants so our region is able to get our fair share of state transportation funding. And passed a bill to improve transportation construction projects around the state.
