Education

<h4>Christopher Ahuja is a working-class small business owner and organizer who grew up in the Inland Empire and has lived in the San Fernando Valley for over 20 years. He became active in the fight for his community in 2020, believing that change doesn’t come from the top down — it’s built collectively, block by block, by neighbors who refuse to leave anyone behind.</h4>A proud alumnus of California State University San Bernardino, Christopher earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology<img src="https://run.imgix.net/5eb37966-bd8f-4182-9cb2-8382cb81b928/f492d3e1-3d02-4f22-b6c0-cb7f52f75683/f492d3e1-3d02-4f22-b6c0-cb7f52f75683.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2316%2C3088&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">with a concentration in Exercise Science. He later earned his Public Leadership Credential from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, deepening his commitment to using public policy to serve the many, not the wealthy few. For him, education is a public good — not a privilege for the few.Christopher served on the Tarzana Neighborhood Council for three years, advancing sustainability initiatives and community projects that strengthen local neighborhoods. He also served as Chair of the Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance, Treasurer for Feel the Bern SFV, sat on the West Valley Warner Center Chamber of Commerce board, and joined the California Biodiversity Working Group, bringing a justice-focused lens to environmental and small business policy.Christopher’s politics are shaped by lived experience. When his youngest daughter, Artemis, contracted RSV at just six weeks old, she became critically ill and required oxygen support. This was weeks before the pandemic hit, and his family saw firsthand how fragile and unequal our healthcare system is. That fight — and her full recovery — deepened his faith and strengthened his resolve to push for universal healthcare so no family has to fight for care their child deserves.Outside of organizing, Christopher trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Combat Submission Wrestling, drawing on the discipline and resilience of the mat to fuel his political fight. He’s a husband to Maggie Nguyen and a proud father to daughters Athena and Artemis — the reason he works every day to build a more just, sustainable, and democratic Los Angeles.<h4></h4>

"We’re not just running a campaign — we’re building a movement to stop Trump, fascism, and the politicians too weak to fight them. Because while they protect billionaires, working families can’t afford rent, groceries, or healthcare — and the American Dream is slipping away.Across the district, tenants, workers, and small businesses are being squeezed while Brad Sherman takes money from corporate landlords and Wall Street donors.I’m Christopher Ahuja — a Democratic Socialist, father, and small-business owner. I’m not a career politician. I’m organizing with the people — to make housing, healthcare, and dignity affordable for everyone.We deserve a government of solidarity, not greed. The fight is now. Join us. Vote Ahuja."

LGBTQ rights and Equality

Legalizing and regulating cannabis strengthens public safety, boosts the economy, and upholds individual freedoms. We support full federal legalization, expunging past convictions, and reinvesting tax revenue into education, infrastructure, and addiction treatment. Our policy ensures legalization benefits communities, not just corporations.

Cannabis legislation

Protect &amp; Expand Medicare &amp; Medicaid: Donald Trump and the GOP are gutting Medicare and Medicaid with their “big, beautiful” healthcare scam—slashing coverage while giving tax breaks to billionaires. I’ll fight to fully fund and expand these programs so more working people get the care they need now—while we build a universal system like Medicare for All that puts people over profits.

Medicare & Medicaid

Education and Workforce Development Education is a public good. We support free public college, trade schools, and expanded vocational training—so every worker can thrive, not just survive. No one should go into debt to get an education or learn a trade.Living Wages for All Every worker deserves a living wage. We support raising the federal minimum wage to $30 an hour

Fight Against Income Inequality

Clean Energy for the People: We must invest in publicly owned renewable energy—like solar, wind, and hydropower—to phase out fossil fuels and democratize our energy systems. No more giveaways to polluters. No more delay. We need a just transition that creates union jobs, lowers utility bills, and puts communities—not corporations—in control.

Energy Policy

No wonder national Democrats remain deep in the wilderness. After a party election in February that saw two young men – David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta, a gay Black Pennsylvania state lawmaker – elected to vice chair posts, the Democratic National Committee has taken steps to void those elections. In Hogg’s case, it’s because he has unveiled a $20 million effort through the independent <a href="https://leaderswedeserve.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leaders We Deserve</a> group he co-founded to invest in a new generation of Democratic leaders in next year’s midterm elections. That includes funding challenges to some entrenched Democratic incumbents. The old guard of the party doesn’t like that, and it has caused friction. Hogg plans to focus on safe Democratic House seats, he has previously said, in an effort to inject new life into the House of Representatives. Congressmember and former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) is not a target, as the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/joegarofoli/article/nancy-pelosi-challenger-20279382.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">San Francisco Chronicle</a> reported. And Hogg is not eyeing potential challengers based solely on the age of current lawmakers. Kenyatta, who received more votes than Hogg, is frustrated, according to reports, that he is also being targeted for ouster. A DNC subcommittee this week recommended that the organization invalidate one of its February vice chair votes over claims that it unfairly disadvantaged female candidates. News reports have indicated that if the entire DNC votes to redo the vice chair election, Kenyatta’s seat will also be open. Hogg and Kenyatta are the only two DNC officers under the age of 35, which should tell you something. That the DNC is expending time and energy on this issue is ridiculous. We were thrilled when Hogg, 25, and Kenyatta, 34, were elected as DNC vice chairs. They represent a new generation, to be sure, and, in Kenyatta’s case, a welcome LGBTQ voice near the top of the national party leadership. Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 Parkland school shooting in Florida, was trolled by Congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) before she was elected. She followed him around in Washington, D.C. making false and baseless claims related to gun rights, as <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-david-hogg-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CNN</a> reported when the videos surfaced in 2021. Hogg has a point in his election strategy, even as he knew it would generate the inevitable backlash. As Leaders We Deserve wrote in a recent email to supporters, the goal of the $20 million investment is “defeating vulnerable Republicans and flipping their competitive districts blue; challenging ineffective Democrats in safe-seats with young, bold candidates; and running progressive champions for open seats and building a bigger bench.” Christopher Ahuja is one of those young candidates, who, while not yet backed by Hogg’s group, nevertheless is inspired by him and is running to unseat longtime Congressmember Brad Sherman (D) in Southern California. As our <a href="https://www.ebar.com/story/154580/News/Political%20Notes%3A%20Hollywood%20agent%20with%20San%20Francisco%20ties%20seeks%20new%20role%20in%20US%20House" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Political Notebook</a> reported this week, Ahuja, a straight ally, ran for the seat two years ago. A common response he heard from the people whose doors he knocked on was that no other candidates had bothered to show up and seek their votes, recalled Ahuja One only has to look at the huge crowds that came out to see another young Democrat, Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) on their recent Fighting Oligarchy tour, to realize that the national Democratic Party is in dire need of a reboot. (We know, Sanders is 83, but he is definitely not ineffective, and, if more Democrats listened to him, they might have a more robust response to all the policy disasters that President Donald Trump is initiating in his efforts to establish an oligarchy.) A broader bench is exactly what’s needed for the Democrats. Serving in Congress, or any elected office, is not a lifetime appointment (not counting federal and U.S. Supreme Court justices). With the exception of U.S. Senator Cory Booker’s (D-New Jersey) record-breaking floor speech earlier this year, we’d argue that the Democratic response to Trump has been largely cringe-worthy. Letters being sent, placards raised at the address Trump gave, and just the general malaise that many congressional Democrats have is frustrating. We realize the party controls no branch of the federal government, but there are things Democrats can, and should, do. More town halls in red districts, for one thing. Contrary to Trump’s misinformation, farmers in this country are paying dearly due to his on-again, off-again, on-again tariffs. Companies that employ millions of people are set to suffer from the trade war that Trump himself started. Union workers could be in jeopardy if tariffs on China remain in place, resulting in reduced shipping to U.S. ports. These are areas where Democrats need to reach out and promote the party’s proud history of supporting labor and the working class. Unfortunately, Republicans have been effective at portraying Democrats as “woke.” And, the GOP is attempting, some might say succeeding, at diverting voters’ attention to things like LGBTQ rights. The spineless Democrats don’t know how to respond. Here’s what they should be saying: Yes, equal rights are important. They help everyone. Yes, LGBTQ people deserve the same rights as everyone else. But instead, they get caught in the trap laid by Republicans, who try to keep the focus on one or two trans athletes and then gleefully watch as Democrats slink off into a corner. That’s what happened to Kamala Harris during her presidential run last year, when she couldn’t, or wouldn’t, respond to the barrage of anti-trans ads run by Republicans. The Democratic Party can stand for diversity and the working class. It’s not an either-or proposition. The party doesn’t have to scapegoat one to have the other. But that is how many in the party are reacting. And that is a lose-lose formula that will haunt the party going into next year’s midterm elections.

No wonder national Democrats remain deep in the wilderness. After a party election in February that saw two young men – David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta, a gay Black Pennsylvania state lawmaker – elected to vice chair posts, the Democratic National Committee has taken steps to void those elections. In Hogg’s case, it’s because he has unveiled a $20 million effort through the independent <a href="https://leaderswedeserve.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leaders We Deserve</a> group he co-founded to invest in a new generation of Democratic leaders

Referring to U.S. citizens the White House deems “bad people,” Sherman quipped, “If we find ourselves in El Salvador, we’ll have a soccer league.”&nbsp;"Brad Sherman’s comments are morally bankrupt and disgraceful," said Ahuja. "There are sick and innocent children being deported from the only country they have ever called home. When American children with cancer are being deported without medical consultation or due process, the last thing we need is a Member of Congress making jokes about it. We need leaders who will fight back – and fight for our children. Brad Sherman has failed that test. I’m running for Congress because our families deserve better — someone who will stand up for children, stand up for democracy, and stand firm against cruelty and complacency.”“There is absolutely no room for appeasers and enablers in Congress. How dare Brad Sherman make pathetic jokes and spineless excuses while our rights and our children’s futures are under attack."Sherman also went on to suggest that the 2026 elections could “sanctify” the president’s first two years — even stating that “it may be our last election.”Ahuja is a father, small business owner, and proud San Fernando Valley resident. He is running for Congress in California’s 32nd district to stand up for democratic values and revitalize active engagement with the district and beyond as a fighter for the people.&nbsp;Ahuja is passionate about policies that drive economic growth and job creation, including tax incentives for businesses, investments in infrastructure, and support for green energy and new technologies. “I’m not a career politician. I’m a fighter,” Ahuja said. “This election is about choosing leaders who understand the stakes and who won’t treat threats to democracy as a punchline. While others make jokes, I’m focused on real policies that drive progress for our communities. We cannot allow a Trump third term — it’s not an option.”Ahuja’s policy platform includes an "Abundance Agenda" to foster economic growth, innovation, and opportunity to create a more prosperous and equitable society.&nbsp;Media Contact:&nbsp;Julia Natasha Watthey, MBAemail: <a href="mailto:jnwatthey77@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">jnwatthey77@gmail.com</a>

These are scary days for Democrats, as one put it to me recently. Democrats don’t have control of the White House, the House or the Senate. Nor do they have a clear leader or, arguably, a clear message — and their approval ratings are at historical lows. Yet the stunning performance Tuesday by a 33-year-old democratic socialist in New York’s ranked-choice Democratic primary for mayor underscores why some in the party say they feel hopeful — and suggests a resurgence of the left.

 Rent Should Be a Foundation — Not a Weapon

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEPR 002 – May 19, 2025Congressional Candidate Chris Ahuja Sounds the Alarm on GOP Megabill: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;‘Purposeful Cruelty’ Toward Children, Seniors, Veterans, and Working Americans“Ripping Away Healthcare and Food from the Vulnerable Is Inexcusable”LOS ANGELES, CA – Chris Ahuja, candidate for Congress in California’s 32nd District (CD-32), is condemning the House GOP’s proposed budget “megabill,” calling it a “shameful attack on the most vulnerable Americans, especially children, seniors, veterans, and low-income communities.” Ahuja warned the legislation would devastate millions nationwide and over 300,000 residents in CD-32 who rely on food and healthcare programs to survive.*“This isn’t fiscal responsibility – it’s purposeful cruelty wrapped in red tape,” Ahuja said. “Republicans are pushing a plan that kicks 13.7 million Americans off their health insurance and rips food off the tables of 42 million Americans – including 4 million children – by slashing Medicaid and SNAP benefits, all while expanding tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.”According to the <a href="https://chrisahuja.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=97f443092fb7c091746070aa0&amp;id=d9bb99557d&amp;e=2ca8c97260" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">California Association of Food Banks</a>, approximately 81,300 people in CD-32 receive SNAP benefits, a critical safety net now under direct threat.“Cancer patients, disabled Americans, working families – these are the people Republicans are targeting while handing billionaires new tax loopholes,” Ahuja continued. “This isn’t policy. It’s a war on the vulnerable, and it is inexcusable.”The GOP megabill imposes harsh new work-reporting mandates for Medicaid and SNAP recipients. Experts warn these requirements do little to increase employment but are guaranteed to strip health coverage, increase hunger, and push struggling Americans further into debt – disproportionately affecting seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities.Ahuja also took aim at his opponent, longtime incumbent Brad Sherman, for what he called a “deafening silence” in the face of this attack.“Where is Brad Sherman? Why isn’t he saying anything?” Ahuja asked. “Our communities deserve a leader who puts people before politics. We don’t need placeholders in Congress – we need a fighter who shows up for the people they represent. Brad is all too often missing in action, and it’s time we hold him accountable.”For more information about Chris Ahuja’s campaign, visit:<a href="https://chrisahuja.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=97f443092fb7c091746070aa0&amp;id=bd145c217d&amp;e=2ca8c97260" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="http://www.chrisahujaforcongress.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.chrisahujaforcongress.com</a>__________________________*Sources: California Health Care Foundation, Congressional District Medicaid Enrollment Data Report, 2025; California Association of Food Banks, 2024.Social Media Snippet:Candidate Chris Ahuja sounds the alarm on the GOP megabill — calling it “purposeful cruelty” that rips healthcare and food away from millions, including children, seniors, veterans &amp; working families.“Our communities deserve a fighter who shows up and speaks out.
