When ICE targeted Iranian Americans, I fought back. For years, I’ve led the fight to sanction the regime and the IRGC, and I have been proud to stand firm with the Iranian American community against the regime here at home. I'm honored to be the only candidate endorsed by Iranian American community leaders, the CSUN Iranian Student Association, local firefighters, nurses, teachers, community leaders, Planned Parenthood, and the California Democratic Party.
