Eric Swalwell’s departure. At 39, she brings deep roots in social justice — from foster youth advocate to state senator and Hayward City Council member — with a doctorate in social work guiding her mission to uplift vulnerable communities. Though she narrowly edged out BART Director Melissa Hernandez in a recent special election, they’ll face off again in November for the full term. Wahab’s message? Unity over division — believing the American dream belongs to everyone, and progress is built through shared purpose, not partisan politics.
