Thank you to Livermore Heritage Guild for another fun open house at Hagemann Ranch. I had such fun chatting with Karen and learned we have many people in common. I couldn't get the goats to turn around for a picture. 😂

Thank you to LGBTQ Minus To***co for presenting an informative and lively luncheon presentation for World No To***co Day. They provided an update on youth va**ng trends, including the latest products from Big To***co and their strategies to target vulnerable groups, like the LGBTQ+ community. I was so engrossed in the presentation that I realized after I left that I only took pictures of the slides and none with people. Luckily, I have a picture of two of the presenters at their booth at Livermore Pridefest last October, so that's the picture you see here. 😁

Proud to have earned the endorsement of The Independent is a weekly newspaper in the Tri-Valley!

“Wahab has made a name for herself taking on powerful interests…
She’s championed civil rights protections, fought to protect home ownership from predatory investors, and pushed for accountability and stable rates from utility and insurance companies.
Wahab has been endorsed by the state Democratic Party and the Green Party of Alameda County, Indivisible Tri-Valley, and has secured backing from teachers, nurses, firefighters and healthcare labor unions.”

Livermore Public Library hosted a very well-attended Summer Learning Festival to kick off the summer learning program now that school is out. Since I don't post pictures of children without permission and there were children everywhere, I'm sharing a picture of animals at the petting zoo in front of the library, plans for the new teen space, and the construction in progress of the nearby senior affordable housing. Thank you, Livermore Library, for keeping learning going in the summer!

Thank you to Ava Community Energy and CEO Howard Chang for taking us up to see the wind turbines on the Altamont. Ava is the default electricity provider for 18 jurisdictions in the Counties of Alameda and San Joaquin -- including Livermore. It was a windy day, so we got to see the turbines do their thing. We also got to go inside one of the turbines.

The last picture is of a bird detector. When it detects the presence of an endangered species, like a Golden Eagle, it shuts off the wind turbine so it doesn't hurt the bird. 🦅

We usually meet on zoom, but this was a special in-person board meeting for APAPA Tri-Valley Chapter. This group works hard and eats hard. 😊😋 Love my APAPA-TVC Board! ❤️❤️

It's been a busy few days, so I'm behind in posting. This is the Mayor's State of the City, hosted by Livermore Valley Chamber. As always, Mayor Marchand gave a terrific presentation on the state of the City of Livermore, CA - Government. Thank you to the Chamber and its Board (pictured on stage) for hosting a wonderful event!

I was walking through the lobby of City Hall and look who I ran into? Sanjani Ramkissoon is the amazing business owner of Stitch and Revel, a new business in Livermore that has been going gangbusters. This woman is a force in marketing and business, and she has energy and creativity like no one else. She was at City Hall to begin planning for the downtown tree sweaters. Yes, the planning begins that early. Stay tuned for exciting news about this year's program, and go visit Sanjani at her fabulous store that has already become a real community gathering space!

Turning in my ballot for the Special Primary Election! There is only one race on this ballot -- for a candidate to finish the term formerly held by Eric Swalwell. This person will hold the seat until the new term begins in January 2027.

There are 11 candidates on this ballot, some of whom, not all, are also on the ballot for the term beginning in 2027. If one candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, they can begin serving sooner, and our district will once again have representation in Congress. If we don't, we will have to vote again in a runoff in August, which means a summer with no representation in Congress.

If we elect the same person in the two separate races for this congressional seat, they will get the jump on committee assignments in Congress before all the other first-year Members of Congress are installed in January. Committees are where a lot of the work is done, so we want our congressional representative to have this advantage.

Both the Mercury News and San Francisco Chronicle have strongly endorsed Aisha Wahab. As the Mercury News says in its endorsement, "D.C. is no place to send a novice. And Wahab isn't one... There is only one reliable, proven candidate on both ballots. That's Wahab. Keep it simple. Vote for her. Twice."
