Former AOC staffer running for Pelosi’s seat promises to root out corruption – and Trump’s ballroom

Saikat Chakrabarti, a former staffer for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is running for Congress to succeed Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco. Central to his campaign is an anti-corruption agenda, which includes a proposal to transform Donald Trump's former White House ballroom into a museum dedicated to authoritarianism and corruption. Chakrabarti envisions this 90,000-square-foot space as a venue for exhibits that highlight the threats posed by authoritarianism and the rule of law, aiming to educate the public on these critical issues. His campaign reflects a broader desire to address corruption in government and promote transparency.
