A Fighter for Working Families.

I’m the daughter of Hmong refugees, one of 16 children raised right here in Sacramento on programs like SNAP and Medicaid. I didn’t learn about the struggle of working families from a briefing paper—I lived it. As a teacher, a working mom, and a City Council member, I’ve spent my life fighting for the people the establishment ignores. I’ve turned down pay raises and stood up to special interests because my only boss is you, not the billionaires and corporations.

We are living through a crisis of "politics as usual."

While our costs skyrocket and our immigrant neighbors face a mass deportation machine, the same career politicians have held onto power for decades without delivering the change we need. I’m running for Congress to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington—one with the guts to pass Medicare for All, take on the billionaire class, and finally protect our communities from the Trump administration.

What makes Mai different?

  • As an educator, Mai comes from a working class family. Her and her husband make hard choices every day to balance the check book. That’s why she will fight tirelessly to building HOUSING people actually afford and champion Medicare-For-All.

  • Mai rejects donations from corporate PACs and would never take contributions from companies that do business with ICE

    Unlike the current representative, who takes huge contributions from Lockheed Martin, Home Depot, and AIPAC—Mai’s campaign is funded by regular people. She will be accountable to her constituents and not from the billionaires trying to buy our government.

  • The status quo cannot protect our communities. Mai won’t wait until our more people are harmed before she acts. Action over press conferences and platitudes. She never avoids the tough decisions or the unpopular choices because it is the right thing to do.

Born and Raised in Sacramento, Mai Vang knows the struggles of working families.

Here’s what she’s fighting for:

Housing You Can Afford

Mai will fight to make housing a human right by building more affordable homes, supporting first time home buyers, stopping rent hikes and neglect, and investing federal dollars in keeping families safely housed.

Health Care You Can Count On

Mai will fight to make sure everyone can see a doctor, afford their medicine, and get the care they need. This includes expanding Medicare and prioritizing people over profits for insurance companies.

Investing in Our Kids and Their Future

Mai will fight to protect public schools, forgive student debt, and support tuition-free higher education. As a parent, she will champion expanded child care and paid family leave.

Good Jobs for Working Families

Mai will fight for jobs that pay a living wage, stronger unions, and fair workplaces so that every family can earn a good living and corporations are held accountable to our families.

Human Rights, Even When It’s Hard

Mai will fight to end the genocide in Gaza, reject AIPAC money, and invest our tax dollars in health care, housing, and jobs at home—not endless wars abroad.

Safer Communities

Mai will fight to free our neighborhoods from the terror of masked ICE agents and militarized law enforcement. She will work to fix our broken immigration system and protect our freedoms.
