Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress
We Can Fix This.
I'm running for Congress because Democratic Party leaders in DC are unfit to lead in the world as it is today.
We Can Fix This.
I'm running for Congress because Democratic Party leaders in DC are unfit to lead in the world as it is today.
WHY I'M RUNNING
The American Dream is failing so authoritarianism is winning.
With a career that spans Bernie's 2016 campaign, running AOC's 2018 upset victory, and launching the Green New Deal. I know how to shift the bounds of the possible - by mobilizing people to demand and achieve policies like Medicare for All, affordable housing, political reform, and a transition to clean energy. Together, we can rebuild our party, revitalize our city, and transform our nation.

Ban stock trading for members of Congress
Cut utility bills by up to 40% with public power

San Francisco should have a representative who is fighting to push the bounds of what is possible
Whether it’s the cost of living crisis, housing shortage, homelessness, or drug addiction crisis, San Francisco faces many of America’s problems hardest. We cannot afford to have a representative fighting to keep a broken status quo intact.
San Francisco has always been the home of movements that fight to fix what the nation gets wrong. From the Longshoreman’s Strike in 1934 that unionized the West, to the anti-war movement of the 1960s, to the LGBTQ rights and disability rights movements, when the country wouldn’t move, San Francisco pushed.
And our country needs San Francisco to push again today.

About me.
I'm Saikat Chakrabarti. I grew up in Fort Worth, TX, the son of Indian immigrants. I came to San Francisco in 2009 and worked in tech before leaving to help build the progressive movement. I co-founded Justice Democrats, ran AOC's 2018 campaign, served as her Chief of Staff where I launched the Green New Deal, and now lead New Consensus, a policy think tank fighting for economic security for all Americans.
