Fatima Iqbal-Zubair for State Assembly
"Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is exactly the kind of champion working families need in Sacramento. She has proven herself as a bold, values-driven leader who stands with working people in every fight for dignity, fairness, and respect on the job. Fatima doesn’t just talk about justice — she lives it."
"As an educator and former high school science teacher, Fatima understands the challenges educators face every single day. She's seen firsthand how underfunding and overcrowded classrooms can hold back both students and educators. California Teachers Association members proudly endorse Fatima because of her commitment to fully fund public education, uplift educators, and ensure every student is given the resources and opportunities they deserve."
“Fatima Iqbal-Zubair has always stood with health care workers — not just in words, but in action. She has worked alongside labor leaders to demand dignity and fairness for those who care for others, and she’s never backed down from standing with us in that fight. We know Fatima will be a true champion for workers and fight to strengthen unions, protect patient care, and ensure that every health care worker is respected, protected, and paid what they deserve.”
“As a mother, educator, and immigrant, Fatima Iqbal-Zubair has dedicated her life to uplifting working families and building a more just and sustainable California. From fighting for clean air and water in frontline communities to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with labor to create good union jobs, Fatima has shown what people-powered leadership looks like. I’m proud to support her and look forward to working alongside her to deliver for families, workers, and the environment across our state."
"As an educator, climate advocate, and mom of a child with special needs, Fatima understands the challenges facing her community. I have seen how deeply committed she is to addressing critical issues for working families and I'm proud to endorse her for Assembly."
"Fatima goes above and beyond in the fight for working families. Her commitment is evident as a leader who has spent her career tirelessly working to expand opportunities for those who need it most. As a dedicated advocate, she will use her lived experience to continue to uplift our communities with a bold vision that puts people over profit. I am proud to endorse her for Assembly."
