The Campaign
From Community to Capitol: Lydia Kou’s Vision for Realigning Priorities in Sacramento
Lydia Kou’s journey into politics was not something she initially sought but was propelled by the encouragement of her constituents and community. Her decision to enter the world of public service was born from a desire to bring about meaningful change in Palo Alto. Today, she is running to represent District 23 in the California State Assembly.
Her purpose is to stand up for common sense and practical solutions, where the status quo often seems to prioritize party interests over the well-being of the people.

Key Concepts
The supermajority in the Sacramento legislature has lost their way
Elected representatives are not paying attention to the priorities of their voters
The California Democratic party is dictating a loyalty policy in passing specific legislation.
Going against the policies or not voting in lockstep brings severe consequences to the individual legislator.
