Fatima wants to defund the police & ban police unions:
Fatima Iqbal-Zubair has used her platform to promote extreme anti-police positions, calling to defund police departments and ban police unions. Iqbal-Zubair has also adamantly opposed the presence of school resource officers in schools. Her calls to strip funding resources from law enforcement poses a significant risk to public safety and puts her directly at odds with the law enforcement officers and union members who serve the communities of AD-65.
Fatima's hypocrisy and campaign finance violations
While portraying herself as anti-war and pro-environment candidate, Fatima self-funded her two failed Assembly campaigns with over $500,000 of personal funds — including money from defense contractor Raytheon, where her husband is employed. Fatima was found in violation of California’s Political Reform Act by the Fair Political Practices Commission for failing to disclose her spouse’s significant income from Raytheon Intelligence & Space.
Fatima hypocritically claims to take no corporate or special interest money and has called to demilitarize the planet and defund the Pentagon — while simultaneously profiting from defense spending and using that money to fund her political campaign:
Fatima’s Democratic Socialist agenda is out of touch with voters
Fatima was endorsed by the radical Democratic Socialists of America in 2022 and 2020 — an organization that shares her views of defunding the police, ending private property, withdrawing from NATO, and ending U.S. military aid to all governments, among other extreme positions.
Fatima wants to kill union energy jobs in California
More than 112,000 Californians are employed in the oil and natural gas industry — including many union jobs at refineries throughout the state. Assembly District 65 is home to many of these energy-sector union jobs — and despite that — Fatima Iqbal-Zubair has called to stop fossil fuel projects, without any plan for what the transition would look like. While California is working toward a clean energy future, we are not ready today to simply stop using fossil fuels immediately, which would lead to tens of thousands of Californians losing their jobs.
