Background

About Evan Low

Elected as the youngest Asian American mayor and youngest LGBT mayor in the country, Evan Low entered public service to champion the middle class. During his ten years of service as an Assemblymember, he was named California's most effective lawmaker, delivering more signed bills than any other member. He helped secure over $40 billion to build more affordable housing, increase funding for public schools, provide free community college, and support families struggling with the cost of living. When reproductive rights were under assault, he co-authored legislation to enshrine reproductive freedom in the California Constitution. Evan Low's commitment to safety is personal. As the proud brother of a police officer serving this district, he led the charge to increase law enforcement funding and keep guns out of the hands of criminals and people with mental illness. He was named "Legislator of the Year" by the California Police Chiefs Association. In Washington, he will take on lobbyists, hold oil companies accountable, and fight against pharmaceutical companies' price gouging. He is committed to making the region more affordable for middle and working-class families. He is the only candidate in this race endorsed by the California Democratic Party, labor unions, firefighters, police, nurses, and teachers, and he holds a 100% score from Planned Parenthood.
