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."
