Dr. Meghan Fraley
Clinical Psychologist & Political Activist
Mountain View
Candidate Statement
Hi, I’m Dr. Meghan Fraley.
As we face picking up the pieces of devastation from a Trump Administration, and tackle the pandemic and recovering, we must put the people first and build a stronger Democratic Party- driven by the working people we claim to represent.
As a Clinical Psychologist and Community Organizer with decades of effective advocacy, I have the mental health expertise and the community advocacy background to get the job done. We need the party to truly represent the people, with action and compassion. We need a more truly inclusive party that is not afraid. I will work with my colleagues to fight for these needed changes.
Effective Leadership for Change and Equity
I have been active, fierce and effective advocate for economic justice, and a more equitable society for all in my community of Mountain View and throughout Santa Clara county over the past decade. In my work as a community activist and leader, most notably I have founded and the South Bay/Peninsula Raise the Wage Coalition, which led to $15/hr pay for 95% of min wage workers in Santa Clara County. In 2018, I led the campaign for a progressive business tax in Mountain View which won with over 70% voter approval leading to $10million new dollars of tax revenue yearly. 80% of these funds will be allocated to public transit projects ($6 million of which is from Google).
I Will Fight for You and Your Family
As your delegate, I will work with the strength and dedication this turning point in history requires to make Democratic platform promises, which are long overdue, a reality. Visit www.ad24.vote/candidates/meghan to learn more about me and our full slate of progressive changemakers. As a collaborator and coalition builder, together with other fierce advocates for an equitable society, I will fight for you and to bring change into the Democratic Party.
I would be honored to have your vote.
