Rishi Kumar is a Silicon Valley hi-tech executive, a mechanical engineer by education, and a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives (CA-16). He is currently a Saratoga City councilmember - elected with the most votes in his city’s election history - and is serving his second term. Rishi is running against Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, who is in her 44th year in public office.
Stop the paving of paradise, I will preserve and protect the coast. Eshoo has never focused on the coastal communities in 30 years - why will it change now? I will establish a congressional office on the coast to ensure I hear from you and take action.
As a passionate environmentalist who loves visiting California’s beaches with my family, I’ll stop the ill-conceived high-density housing push directed at our coastal cities and beaches that have steamrolled development projects like the San Pedro Mountain and Pedro Point Field project(s) into your peaceful little town.
Our beaches, parks and coastlines must be protected and a smarter approach to preserving our coastal resources for our children is essential.
