State of California
Member of the State Assembly, District 6
This person holds your district's seat in the California State Assembly (2-year term).
Assemblymember Maggy Krell took 85.9% of the June 2 vote. Fellow Democrat Jagtar Singh took 14.1%, so November's contest is between two Democrats. The district covers part of Sacramento and its northern suburbs.
The winner holds one of 80 Assembly seats for a two-year term, inside a 12-year lifetime cap on service in Sacramento. An Assemblymember authors bills, sits on the policy committees that decide which bills advance, and argues for the district's share of the annual state budget. A first-term member is still building the committee position that determines how much of that agenda actually moves.
An 85.9% primary against a same-party challenger with no reported funding means the practical question here is what the incumbent does with a secure seat. Her first-session record and her $1.3 million in mostly institutional funding are the substance; the ballot will not test either.
Maggy Krell
Maggy Krell is the Democratic Assemblymember for this Sacramento-area district. She is in her first term. Before the Assembly she was a deputy attorney general who prosecuted sex traffickers. She wrote a book about that work called Taking Down Backpage. She also worked as a lawyer for Planned Parenthood and helped pass Proposition 1, which protects abortion rights. She has written bills on criminal justice, including one that makes it a felony for an adult to solicit a minor for sex.
She dropped out of the Sacramento mayor's race to run for this seat after the previous member entered that same mayor's race. Her campaign says her bill on soliciting minors required going against parts of her own party.
She promises to keep working on public safety, protections for trafficking survivors, and reproductive rights. These build on her work as a prosecutor and at Planned Parenthood.
Jagtar Singh
Jagtar Singh is a Democrat challenging fellow Democrat Maggy Krell for this seat. Singh's ballot listing calls them a caregiver and business owner. They have not served in the California Legislature or Congress.
No campaign website or news story about Singh's run could be found. What is documented is their ballot listing and that they are challenging their own party's incumbent.
Singh's platform is not documented in any source that could be located. There is nothing on record about what they would do in office.

1Jagtar Singh has no contributions reported to Cal-Access for this race.
2Figures are CA Form 460 filings through June 30, 2026 by committees controlled by each candidate, and can include transfers from a candidate's earlier committees. Semi-annual reports covering January–June 2026 were due July 31, 2026, so some totals lag a period behind. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-09-21.
3Jagtar Singh has no itemized contributions dated after the June 2, 2026 primary reported to Cal-Access yet.
4Total is itemized (Schedule A) contributions and self-funding loans dated after the June 2, 2026 primary, through June 30, 2026 — small-dollar unitemized (under $100) contributions aren't independently dated in Cal-Access's raw export, so they aren't reflected here and this may undercount true small-donor activity since the primary. This also doesn't include money reported only on 24-hour late-contribution reports (Form 497) that haven't yet appeared in a periodic Form 460 filing.
