Why Fatima Malik is the best choice for SMUD

My opponent is the President of the SMUD Board, but his lackluster leadership isn't up for solving our community's pressing issues.

50,000 people can't pay their SMUD bill because of the COVID recession.

And yet, under my opponent's leadership, SMUD charges the highest monthly utility fee in the state ($22), and just raised rates by 11.25% over the next two years, even though the pandemic has upended our daily lives. 


I will push to lower SMUD's fixed costs so you don't get charged so much, and also give you more control over your SMUD bill by helping you make changes to your home so you don't have to pay for as much energy, whether you rent or own. More about my vision for SMUD

We need to fight climate change with as much clean energy as possible.

And yet, under my opponent's leadership, SMUD is trying to block both renters and homeowners from making and storing their own solar energy at home.


I will push to close SMUD's five fossil fuel power plants ASAP, starting with the three that are making people sick in our most disadvantaged neighborhoods. I will also fight to make it as easy as possible for all members of our community - renters, businesses and homeowners - to make clean, free energy from the sun.  More about my vision for Sacramento

Sacramento is a big, diverse community. Our elected officials should reflect that diversity and feel accountable to the public.

However, the incumbent is a career politician who has run uncontested for 12 years.

 

I am a public health professional who was raised in Sacramento by a single mom. I know first-hand what it's like to have to choose between my SMUD bill and buying groceries. 


I believe that SMUD will better serve the community by promoting self-sufficiency, not by doubling down on an old-school monopoly.  More about me
