Shahatit also worked as an assessor with the Jordanian Income Tax Department for 13 Years and as a part time accounting instructor at San Bernardino Valley College for 5 years. Nader is married to Esther and together, they’ve raised four children: Rami, Amir, Kristina and Jacob. I have a deep understanding of our tax system and all of the ways it's flaws are hurting taxpayers like you. Between unchecked inflation, rampant racism, and a stunned political elite, it's getting harder and harder to stay hopeful. If you're sick and tired of a system designed to slow you down, elect me to catalyze economic growth. I'll push for a simpler tax code, squash loopholes only the .01% can find, and create a fair system that lets us protect our most vulnerable.
  • Protect Proposition 13 and suspend the gas tax
  • Support Affordable Housing
  • Curb Inflation and enact sensible Gun Control

Property Tax
