Elsa Granados is running for the California State Assembly in District 37. For the past 22 years, Elsa has served as the Executive Director of Standing Together to End Sexual Assault addressing sexual assault and domestic violence and advocating for civil rights for working-class families and underrepresented communities. She wants to “work with others to create a community where all are treated with respect, dignity and can exercise their full potential.” Her policy goals include developing more affordable housing, creating good-paying jobs, strengthening public education, and stopping offshore drilling to preserve the environment. Granados is not religious and is an ally of the atheist and humanist community.

 

Bijan Mohseni is a civil rights advocate running for the California State Assembly in District 72. Mohseni has helped asylum seekers and victims of human trafficking obtain permanent resident status, assisted individuals convicted of low level offenses overcome barriers to employment, aided members of the transgender and nonbinary community change their names and gender-markers, and notably fought in the United States Supreme Court against the Trump-Pence Administration’s ban on transgender service members in the military. His campaign’s goal is “to bring together working Californians to fight to improve the education system, solve the child poverty and homelessness crisis, create a single payer healthcare system, and uphold California’s values of diversity, inclusivity, and equal protection under the law.” Mohseni is a graduate of Chapman University (B.A.) and UCLA School of Law (J.D.). He is openly gay and is not religious.

 

You can see all our 2020 endorsed candidates here.

 

 

Sincerely,

Ron Millar
