The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee has not endorsed any candidate in this race.
Last week I watched as Washington Republicans, including several California representatives, voted to approve an attack on middle-class families dressed up as a tax plan.
This tax plan is a disgrace, and nothing more than a giveaway to the ultra-wealthy. If this becomes law, millions of Californian families will bear the burden of this handout to the Republicans’ wealthy donors.
My parents taught me that there was no higher calling than helping others. It’s why I became a doctor, and why I’m running for lieutenant governor — because I believe our elected officials should do everything they can to help our communities and lift them up.
This tax plan does just the opposite. Reports are coming out that this plan could hurt home prices in California and create serious credit risks for local governments.
We need to lift up all Californians, not cut down millions to ensure the top 1% get a tax break. We need to make it clear that Californians are united against the sham they’re trying to push forward in Washington.
Peace be with you,
Dr. Asif Mahmood
Candidate for Lieutenant Governor of California
