We are voting for Jovanka Beckles for the California state Senate District 7 seat. Here is why.
The past: Jovanka’s consistent record on the Richmond City Council and as a director on the AC Transit Board demonstrates her alliance with and support for tenants, unions, police accountability, low-cost housing, single-payer healthcare, et al. Additionally, she has been a fearless critic of powerful institutions and corporations.
