Rakhi's Vision
Five Pillars
In an era of rising extremes, the East Bay — California’s 14th Congressional District — deserves a representative who stands firm for our values and ensures every community in CA District 14 is protected, heard, and respected. Rakhi is running as a common-sense Democrat for Congress in CA-14 to bring decency, fiscal sanity, and a get-it-done mindset to our nation’s capital.
Lowering Costs for our East Bay Families
Lowering Costs for our East Bay Families
The cost of living and rising prices are the most urgent issues facing our community today. As an educator and mother of four, I see how the financial stress impacts the well-being of our children.
Trump’s tariffs are driving up prices on groceries and everyday goods. Drug companies are gouging families. I’ll fight both.
- Fight Trump’s tariffs that are raising prices on groceries, gas, and essentials
- Make Medicare negotiate drug prices and allow safe importation of cheaper medications
- Strengthen the Child Tax Credit so families keep more of what they earn
