| Collapse all
Khan attended Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was President of the Muslim Law Students Association and Communications Chair of the South Asian Law Students Association. He also served as the Managing Technical Editor of the Harvard Human Rights Journal.
During the summer breaks in law school, Khan interned in Washington, DC for the US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and the Office of Government Ethics.
After graduating from law school, Khan was accepted into the Presidential Management Fellowship program. He worked for the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and the Food and Nutrition Service. Khan worked on several policy priorities of the Obama Administration at the state level, including minimum wage, paid sick and family leave, voting rights, gun violence prevention, occupational licensing, and the opioid crisis.- I will fight to lift our middle class until it is once again an inspiration for the world. I will push for paid family leave, universal pre-K, subsidized child care, and advance notice of work schedules.
- I will introduce legislation to impose tight restrictions on huge opportunistic companies that snap up hundreds of residential homes with all-cash payments and then rent them out at a fat profit, depriving hardworking Bay Area families of the dream of homeownership.
- I will fight to remove the bureaucracy and red tape that prevent shovels in the ground to build more affordable housing in the Bay Area.
To increase the supply of affordable housing, I will do the following:
1. Impose tight restrictions on huge opportunistic companies that snap up hundreds of residential homes with all-cash payments and then rent them out at a fat profit, depriving hardworking Bay Area families of the dream of homeownership.
2. Require a minimum percentage of new housing to be mixed-use and add incentives to situate it near public transit to mitigate traffic concerns.
3. Enable local elected officials to judiciously cut through the thicket of government regulations that unnecessarily restrict the speedy construction of new housing.
4. Incentivize the installation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to increase the available supply of housing, and reduce unnecessary regulations on them.
5. Modify Proposition 13 for large business real estate while making no changes for small business real estate and residential properties, and funneling the proceeds toward the construction of more affordable housing, as well as enhanced public services.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
