Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens represents the Silicon Valley in the California State Assembly for District 26. He serves on the Assembly Committees on Budget, Business and Professions, Communications and Conveyance, Rules, Transportation, and Budget Subcommittee No. 2 on Human Services. Assemblymember Ahrens is the Co-Chair of the California Legislative Technology & Innovation Caucus, and a member of the California Legislative Jewish and Bay Area Caucuses.
A native of Silicon Valley, Ahrens is deeply committed to addressing the challenges faced by his constituents in one of the most dynamic yet demanding regions of California. His journey into public service was shaped by his own challenges, including growing up in a house with substance abuse issues and facing homelessness and housing insecurity as a college student. These experiences fueled his passion for public service and inspired his career advocating for affordable housing and education equity. He has championed policies to expand access and affordability in higher education, focusing on supporting community college students and ensuring pathways for economic mobility.
Prior to joining the Assembly, Ahrens served as a Trustee on the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board, where he led efforts to build affordable housing for faculty, staff, and students, and collaborated with Santa Clara County to establish a first-in-the-state medical clinic at De Anza College.
A first-generation college graduate, Ahrens earned an associate degree from De Anza College, a bachelor’s degree from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), and a master’s degree in public administration from San José State University. He resides in Sunnyvale and is proud to represent the vibrant communities of Santa Clara County in the State Assembly.

Candidate Corner
With the 2026 elections fast approaching, candidates are announcing their intent to run for local, state and federal seats. There will be elections for school Board, Folsom City Council Districts 1, 3 & 5, the State Assembly and Congressional House of Representatives.
Note that, FADC members will not vote on Democratic candidate endorsements until early 2026. However, we will work to keep you informed about who announces their candidacy for what seat. And we will share information about Candidate Meet and Greet events happening if you want to get to know who is running. We want to emphasize again...sharing this information is in no way an endorsement of any of the candidates.
BOYCOTT
Let's hit these corrupt corporate cronies where it really hurts, in the pocketbook.
Boycott as many companies bowing to the Project 2025 degenerates as possible for as long as you can. For additional guidance see specific actions below.
