Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I’m Dublin Councilmember Shawn Kumagai, 20-year Navy Veteran, and current District Director for Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan. I’m running for Assembly because we need a common sense leader you can trust with years of experience getting results for Alameda families. As the only LGBTQ and AAPI elected official in the race, diversity and experience matters. I’ve been trusted by Alameda County families as an elected councilmember, and I’ve delivered on affordable housing, balanced my city’s budget 4 years running, expanded good-paying green jobs and strengthened the economy, and made my city safer. Those are commonsense results you can expect from me in Sacramento. That means practicing fiscal responsibility with your taxpayer money and our state budget, taking on the affordability crisis, cleaning up our public spaces for seniors, families and children by moving people out of tent encampments and into housing, and keeping our neighborhoods safe. That’s why I’m endorsed by over 100 state and local elected officials and community leaders, Democratic clubs, labor unions, and grassroots progressive organizations across Alameda County.
Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
As an elected Councilmember, I’ve delivered on my promise to create thousands of affordable housing units for seniors and working families. In the Assembly, I’ll make delivering housing for seniors, teachers, nurses and firefighters my number one priority.
