Lunch with Sen. Aisha Wahab

To honor Women's History Month, we're excited to welcome State Senator Aisha Wahab, who was elected in 2022 to represent District 10, which includes the cities of Hayward, Union City, Newark, Fremont, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, San José, and Santa Clara.

Aisha made national headlines as the first Afghan-American woman elected to public office in the United States when she won a seat on the Hayward City Council in 2018. As a councilmember, Aisha implemented policies that reduce economic inequality, expand homeownership opportunities, support small businesses, and strengthen safety nets for seniors, women, children and working families.

As a Senator, she continues to work as an advocate and organizer for seniors, women, and children. Aisha is dedicated to addressing issues including housing affordability, civic engagement, education, and economic inequality.

Personally, Aisha was placed in foster care after her father was brutally murdered and her mother died at an early age. Her experiences inform her understanding of the struggles many silently face. Senator Wahab was fortunate to be adopted by a young, self-employed couple in the Bay Area who taught her the values of hard work, perseverance, and pride in their American identity.

We look forward to hearing more of her story, and we hope you will join us.
