What does it take to be considered electable? Experience? Leadership skills? Or is it defined by race or creed? Even more importantly, who is gets to make that call? Join Demi and Michael as they talk with City of Irvine Mayor Farrah N. Khan and University of San Fransisco student, yli Program Coordinator and organizer Mansi Kalra about identity, engaging youth in the Irvine community and ask just who exactly is considered electable?
In November of 2020 history was made as Mayor Farrah N. Khan became the 23rd Mayor of Irvine. Mayor Khan became the first woman of color to hold the position in Irvine, and the first Muslim woman to lead a large city in all the United States. Not to mention that she also received the highest number of votes for the position of Mayor in the city’s history.
