Election 2024: How candidates for state Senate District 7 would approach the East Bay's biggest challenges
Briefly

"Both candidates aim to represent the progressive values of the East Bay in the Senate but differ sharply on key issues concerning police roles and housing development strategies."
"Arreguin identifies as a pragmatic progressive, advocating for increased police funding and expedited housing construction to address pressing urban issues within the community."
"Beckles stands firm on her belief that merely increasing police presence will not solve crime issues, asserting that market-rate developments do not contribute to affordability."
"Both candidates have received high-profile endorsements, but their contrasting approaches on complex issues highlight the divisions within the Democratic party in this blue district."
