On the 4th, Chinese-American candidate for California’s 25th Senate District, Elizabeth Wong Ahlers, held her first volunteer meeting after her primary election victory. Volunteers and supporters from across the district gathered at a private residence in Pasadena to rally support. Elizabeth Wong Ahlers stated that she will be fully committed in the next six months to strive for a victory in November’s general election to contribute to California.
Dozens of voters from the 25th District gathered on the 4th. Elizabeth Wong Ahlers noted that volunteers came from the San Gabriel Valley and the Inland Empire. She expressed gratitude for everyone’s support and help, and emphasized that she will continue to work hard in the coming months, but will need to mobilize more volunteers and actively promote her campaign to win over more voters. Although Republicans are not the majority in the 25th District, she believes her ideas can attract non-Republican voters.
This is Elizabeth Wong Ahlers’ first time running for Senate, and she received 38.8% of the vote in this year’s primary, leading the second-place candidate by 10%. As the only Republican candidate among the five candidates in the 25th District, many believe she has a good chance of winning in November. Despite her primary victory, Elizabeth Wong Ahlers remains focused, stating that her core campaign principles remain four words: Love, Lives, Liberty, and Law. Everything she does comes from love—she loves her home and California, and she is willing to stand up to serve the state. Life is precious, everyone has the freedom to pursue a better life, and the government has an obligation to provide a safer living environment, which requires better laws and the amendment of bad ones. Her goal is to make California a place where people aspire to live and settle down.
Regarding the difference between her and her opponent, Sasha Renee Perez, she said the biggest difference is their worldviews. She advocates for the government to serve the voters, rather than forcing everyone to sacrifice for the so-called perfect world. The various issues in California today are the result of Democratic policies. Many Democratic ideas sound good but are overly idealistic and attempt to control people, making them do things, even at the expense of some individuals’ interests, which is unrealistic and unsustainable.
