Kalantari-Johnson immigrated to the United States as a child in 1985. She received her education at UC Santa Cruz and has since married and had two kids. She said her priorities will be to focus on economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic along with advocating for affordable housing.
First elected: Nov. 3, 2020
