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.
