Egging incident haunts California statehouse candidate

The video shows Tara Sreekrishnan, fresh off a failed run for Cupertino City Council, approaching the home after 10:30 p.m. wearing large aviator-style sunglasses. The man whose car was vandalized showed POLITICO a receipt with a $299 payment from Sreekrishnan’s father dated after the incident, which he said was to cover repairs to his vehicle’s exterior. “I apologized and fixed it five years ago, and my relationship with this person has continued, including being hosted by him for a campaign event earlier this year.” The egging incident has surfaced as Sreekrishnan is locked in a tight Assembly race with Patrick Ahrens. | Surveillance video footage Sreekrishnan admitted her role only after she was presented with a Paypal receipt showing a payment her father had made to the man targeted in the egging. “When I heard about the egging incident years ago, I knew right then and there that she was not suitable to hold political office,” said Fry, who said she supports Ahrens.
