"This week, state Sen. Aisha Wahab, D-Fremont, officially added her name to the list, declaring her candidacy in an exclusive interview with this news organization. She said that if elected, her familiarity with the district's issues will allow her to hit the ground running. "This is my home. I know it really well. I understand the issues, I understand the communities," Wahab said of District 14. "The honest truth is we need somebody that is able to go to congress that can start the work from day one.""
"Swalwell will exit Washington D.C. as a six-term politician who approached congressional committee hearings in the style he honed as an Alameda County prosecutor. Most prominently, he established himself as a critic of President Donald Trump's first administration, especially as the impeachment manager in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Swalwell has not endorsed a candidate to replace him yet. The filing deadline is March 6, before a primary election held June 2. Whoever the top two vote-getters are will face off in November, regardless of party."
Aisha Wahab, D-Fremont, declared her candidacy for California's 14th Congressional District, saying her familiarity with the district will allow immediate work in Congress.

The district covers southern and eastern Alameda County, from the Tri-Valley to the Tri-Cities.

The filing deadline is March 6 and the primary is June 2.
