Labor leader Ortega faces off against gay Dublin City Councilmember Kumagai in assembly race.
This November two candidates representing disparate factions of the Democratic party are fighting for control over California Assembly District 20, which stretches from Hayward in the west to the more-Conservative Dublin in the east.
Dublin City Councilmember and Navy veteran Shawn Kumagai is backed by large corporations like DaVita healthcare and pro-trade organizations like the California Chamber of Commerce. The candidates diverge on some of the thorniest issues, which pervade California politics, from housing policy to mental illness treatment.
Ortega, who immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico at the age of 3, says she opposed CARE Court because she fears it will levy disproportionate penalties on the most vulnerable Californians.
