Rubric: https://voteorelse.com/about#methodology ## On the ballot - **Maggy Krell** — Constitutional Attorney/Assemblywoman · Democratic · Incumbent - **Jagtar Singh** — Caregiver/Business Owner · Democratic Assemblymember Maggy Krell took 85.9% of the June 2 vote and fellow Democrat Jagtar Singh took 14.1%, so November is a contest between two members of the same party. 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, the Democratic Assemblymember for this Sacramento-area district, is serving her first term after a career as a deputy attorney general at the California Department of Justice, where, under then-Attorney General Kamala Harris, she prosecuted sex traffickers; she wrote about that work in the book Taking Down Backpage: Fighting the World's Largest Sex Trafficker (CapRadio). She also worked as an attorney for Planned Parenthood and helped advance Proposition 1, the ballot measure protecting abortion access in the state constitution (CapRadio). In Sacramento she sits on the Appropriations, Banking and Finance, Communications and Conveyance, and Insurance committees (assembly.ca.gov), and has authored legislation making it a felony for an adult to solicit a 16-year-old for sex (campaign site). Krell dropped out of the 2024 Sacramento mayoral race to run for this Assembly seat after incumbent Kevin McCarty entered that same mayoral contest (CapRadio; Yahoo News). Her campaign says her felony-solicitation bill required "a willingness to challenge Democratic leadership when necessary" (campaign site). She promises to keep working on public safety, protections for trafficking survivors, and reproductive rights, extending priorities from her time as a prosecutor and at Planned Parenthood (campaign site). Her campaign describes her as "a force to be reckoned with in Sacramento" (campaign site). **Strengths:** A documented career before office: prosecuting sex traffickers, a book on that work, and legislation making solicitation of minors a felony. **Trade-offs:** A first-term member's Assembly record is still developing; most of what's documented predates her time in office. **Keep in mind:** Her strongest documented record is pre-Assembly work as a prosecutor and advocate. What she has done since taking office is one term's worth so far. ## Jagtar Singh Jagtar Singh is a Democrat challenging Assemblymember Maggy Krell, a fellow Democrat, for this Sacramento-area seat; their ballot designation is caregiver/business owner. Singh has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress. No campaign website, social media page, or news profile of them could be located. No source documents why Singh is running or any record of their conduct in public life. Singh's campaign, if one exists online, could not be located through news search or direct web addresses. Singh's platform is not documented in any source that could be located. What's on the record is limited to their ballot designation and the fact that they are challenging an incumbent of their own party. **Strengths:** Singh gave this district a contested November ballot instead of an uncontested one. **Trade-offs:** No documented platform, record, or public statement was found beyond Singh's ballot listing. **Keep in mind:** This gap reflects what is publicly documented about Singh's run, not a judgment on it. ## Record in office Maggy Krell (Democratic) is the sitting Assemblymember for this district and is lead author of 31 bills in the 2025–2026 session, 5 of them signed into law. Jagtar Singh has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress; these records cover only those offices. Per the California Legislature's public bill data (leginfo bulk download), retrieved 2026-09-21. ## Record details Krell — AB 1549 (2026): Alternative domestic violence program. Krell — AB 316 (2025): Artificial intelligence: defenses. Krell — AB 348 (2025): Full-service partnerships. Committee assignments and the most recently signed-into-law bills each record-holder lead-authored, from the official legislative record. ## Financial info - **Maggy Krell** - Primary: $1,319,679 raised (Small donors: $330; Individuals: $103,200; PACs & committees: $603,850; Businesses & other orgs: $594,852) - November: $53,312 raised (Individuals: $3,675; PACs & committees: $25,900; Businesses & other orgs: $23,737) Jagtar Singh has no contributions reported to Cal-Access for this race. Figures 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. Jagtar Singh has no itemized contributions dated after the June 2, 2026 primary reported to Cal-Access yet. Total 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. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-08-30. ## Review notes - Maggy Krell for Assembly (campaign site) may have more bias because it is an advocacy voter guide compared to other formal government and nonprofit journalism sources. ## Sources 1.
