Aisha Wahab's win in CA-14 is a landmark moment — a progressive champion who beat back over $6 million in AIPAC-funded smear campaigns to make history as the first Afghan American in Congress. Voters rejected the attacks on her identity and backed her agenda of Medicare for All, affordable housing and civil rights. This is exactly what people power looks like.
Wahab's win is a disaster for American workers — she's openly championed H-1B visa expansion while blocking deportations that tens of millions of voters supported. Her socialist platform, backed by CAIR and DSA, threatens to push California's anti-worker, anti-landlord agenda onto the national stage. This district just traded one embarrassment for something far worse.
