After two decades in Silicon Valley, engineer and businessman Ritesh Tandon is running for Congress in the South Bay. He has built a successful career in technology at the same time that he has been a leader in helping others through his work with nonprofits.

Tandon says, "Over two decades ago, I immigrated to this country as a student searching for the American Dream. I found it here in the heart of our Bay Area, while studying for my MS and MBA at Santa Clara University. I believe this community is the greatest in our nation and it angers me to see the Washington D.C. elite ignore our values of strong family devotion and hard work. It will be my top priority to represent you, not entrenched party bosses."      . . .  read more




The Bay Area has taken one step closer to having an all-mail ballot election as three counties have now opted-in to the California Voters Choice Act.  For counties that adopt it, the Voters Choice Act eliminates neighborhood voting and instead provides three voting options:   (1) return ballots by mail, postmarked no later than Election Day, (2) place mail ballots in one of the drop boxes located throughout the county, or (3) vote in person at any regional vote center that will be open 11 consecutive days prior to Election Day.
 
Voters can visit a vote center up until Election Day to receive a duplicate ballot (as long as one has not been submitted) or to register to vote.    . . .  read more
