Ash Kalra represents the 25th Assembly District which encompasses the majority of San José. In 2016 he became the first Indian American to serve in the Legislature and was re-elected to his fifth term in 2024. Ash has called San José home since moving to California at a young age. He still resides in the South San José neighborhood where he grew up. In that time, he has developed a passion for serving his neighbors and making sure that our government is solving problems – not creating them.
Ash has been one of the foremost advocates of clean energy and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels while preserving our open spaces and protecting our surrounding habitat. Ash has been a voice for criminal justice and public safety, solving our housing and homelessness crisis, improved public transportation, access to affordable health care and a healthier environment.
