EL CAJON FOR THE PEOPLE OVER CORPORATE PROFITS
Alexander Kraft is a labor organizer and former educator running for Mayor. Born in El Cajon, he has fought for the working class and marginalized people his entire adult life: marching against the second Gulf War, defying a 2017 city ban on feeding our homeless neighbors and getting the ban reversed, and standing up for workers against big employers – from the shop floor to the bargaining room.

Mayor of El Cajon is a non-partisan office.
Alexander Kraft himself is a member of the Peace and Freedom Party.
ABOUT THE PEACE AND FREEDOM PARTY
The Peace and Freedom Party fights for socialism, democracy, ecology, feminism, and racial equality. Peace and Freedom stands with the working class in a capitalist system that exploits them. Our vision is a world of cooperation— not competition— where everyone has food, shelter, and dignity; where equality is real, freedom is universal, and peace is rooted in justice.
Founded in 1967 during the anti-Vietnam War mass movement and the Black Liberation Movement, PFP was born from labor struggles, anti-war activism, and the fight for racial and gender justice. Peace and Freedom became California’s third party ballot alternative to corrupt two-party system. Today, Peace and Freedom continues to build a mass socialist movement.
If you are ready to leave the establishment political parties – the Democrats and the Republicans – to build a political party for and by the people, register with the Peace and Freedom Party now:
