AÂ People-Powered Movement to Lower Costs, Defend Immigrant Rights,Â
Challenge Corporate Power, and Take on Trump's Extremist MAGA Agenda
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chris Ahuja, a small business owner, community leader, and proud Democratic Socialist, has launched his congressional campaign to primary longtime incumbent Brad Sherman in California's 32nd District. Ahuja is running to bring people-powered, moral leadership to Washington — a voice for working families, not corporate donors, and a clear alternative to the Trump-style politics of fear, exclusion, and chaos.
"For too long, both parties have protected billionaires while working people are forced to choose between rent, gas, and groceries," Ahuja said. "Our campaign isn't here to play the game. We're here to break it — and rebuild government around compassion, accountability, and solidarity."
Ahuja's campaign rejects all corporate and PAC money, relying entirely on small donors and grassroots volunteers. His message: power belongs to the people, not the powerful.
Across the Valley and Westside, families face skyrocketing rents, unaffordable healthcare, and rising grocery costs. Ahuja's platform focuses on lowering costs, expanding opportunity, and restoring human dignity. His priorities include:
- Rent stabilization and Medicare for All
- Union-led green jobs to fight the climate crisis
- Abolishing ICE and ending mass deportations
- Protecting immigrant families and reproductive freedom
- Supporting Palestinian self-determination, the Gaza ceasefire, and lasting peace for all
- Expanding public transit and wildfire resilience
- Building a working-class economy where families thrive
Ahuja has lived in the San Fernando Valley for over 20 years, raising his family and standing up for small businesses and working people.
"Brad Sherman has been in Congress for nearly 30 years," Ahuja said. "He's taken millions from Wall Street, weapons manufacturers, and corporate PACs — while our district gets excuses and CEOs get richer. It's time for leadership that fights for us."
Ahuja's "Abundance Agenda" envisions prosperity from the ground up — housing, healthcare, and clean energy instead of endless war. "We can have abundance without exploitation," he said. "The scarcity isn't real. The greed is."
The Democratic primary will be held on June 2, 2026.
