News coverage of Jasmeet Bains
Bio
Dr. Jasmeet Bains, 40, is a family physician who was elected to the Assembly in 2022. She’s seeking to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. David Valadao. In her first term, she generated headlines as the lone Democrat to vote against Gov. Gavin Newsom’s bill to prevent price-gouging by oil companies. Bains’ district is home to many of California’s oil wells. She was the only Democrat in the Legislature to vote “no” on the bill that sent to voters the proposition that redrew congressional district maps to favor Democrats. Bains has a bachelor’s degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology and an M.D. from the American University of Antigua.
