• Silicon Valley lawmaker Sen. Aisha Wahab may be eyeing Swalwell's congressional seat (localnewsmatters.org) — Milpitas is part of the state Senate district that could open up if Sen. Aisha Wahab decides to run for Rep. Eric Swalwell’s now-open congressional seat. Local residents are indirectly tied to this potential political shuffle, since it would trigger a competitive race to represent Milpitas in Sacramento and could reshape regional influence on statewide issues.
