CAMPAIGN KICKOFF
LYDIA KOU (Democrat)
Candidate for State Assembly in District 23
to represent YOU
Disrupting the status quo in Sacramento and bringing Common Sense back to government is the goal.
Politics is local and affects YOU and me.
While much is going on at the national level, we need to pay attention to what is happening right here:
• Reduction of our voices,
• More taxation, and
• Destruction of our community character
Stopping the politicians who are taking away local democracy
Sacramento isn’t working for regular people. It works for the big donors, special interests and career politicians. As a mayor of a local city, I see this first hand – we get slogans from politicians, we get press releases from Sacramento, we even get blamed for problems they started – but we don’t get results.
Keeping our communities safe
Ensuring public safety is one of the core responsibilities of our elected leaders. And in many circumstances, we work to keep our communities safe and be compassionate at the same time.
Addressing the insanity of street homelessness
We need both long-term and short-term solutions. Short-term we need to look at navigation centers and proven mental health treatment programs that include full drug treatment and help keep participants clean and off the streets.
Getting smart about government spending
We are tired of constantly dumping more and more tax dollars into solutions that seem to yield very little – if any – results. It’s time for Sacramento politicians tighten their belts and get smart about spending.

Why You’re Paying PG&E DOUBLE the Market Rate for Electricity
By Lydia Kou
October 9, 2024
Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? But that’s what our current State Legislature lets PG&E charge you.
Now, you may have noticed that PG&E just got State approval for a fourth rate hike this year, a year in which PG&E earnings were up 25% over the previous year (PG&E says there’s no connection) and that they paid their CEO $80 million over the last three years.
