As a resident of Fremont, I would like to encourage everyone to join me in supporting Raj Salwan for mayor. His love for our city is evident in his long-standing commitment to public service, which began with his parents establishing roots and a business here in 1981. With his honorable service on the City Council, Raj has proven his dedication to addressing the pressing issues facing our community, such as reducing traffic congestion, ensuring safety for all, supporting affordable housing, and promoting sustainable growth. I truly believe that Raj is the best candidate to lead Fremont into a prosperous future.

On another note, I urge everyone to support Measure J in Sonoma County. As someone studying public health systems change, I understand the importance of creating a sustainable food system and protecting ourselves from the harmful effects of animal agriculture. Measure J presents an opportunity to do just that, while also addressing climate change and promoting public health. Let's come together to support this important measure for the well-being of our communities and our planet.

The rising cost of living, especially in the Bay Area and California, is a cause for concern. We need more affordable housing, and it's disheartening to hear that some cities are being labeled as "impossibly unaffordable." The government must take action to lower housing costs and ensure that everyone has access to this basic need. Imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home without the stress and uncertainty of finding one. That's the world we need, and it's up to our government to help us achieve it.

As the presidential election approaches, it's crucial to consider the values and beliefs of the candidates. Donald Trump's disdain for democratic institutions and his attempts to overturn a free and fair election in 2020, as well as promoting violence, are alarming. We cannot afford to have someone like him in power, and it's important for all of us to come together and vote for the candidate that will safeguard our democracy.

Some may be hesitant about voting for Kamala Harris, but I urge you to consider the bigger picture. It's not just about who will be president, it's about sending a clear message that we will not tolerate anti-democratic actions and behavior. The only way to do so is by soundly defeating Trump at the polls. We cannot afford to be complacent in this crucial moment in history. Let's actively support the candidate that will protect our freedoms and safeguard our democracy.

Thank you for considering my thoughts, and I hope to see you all at the polls.
