Is Zack Bashirtash Really Showing Up for Bakersfield?
Is Zack Bashirtash Really Showing Up for Bakersfield?
Spoiler alert: Nope! With an attendance rate of just 50%, Zack’s been skipping out on key meetings that shape Bakersfield’s future. Housing? Missed it. Zoning changes? Not there. If he can’t show up for us now, how’s he going to show up as a City Councilmember? Check out the chart on your right to see how often Zack was MIA. Want more juicy details?

Bashirtash Drive: A Street Named... After Himself?
Did you know there’s a Bashirtash Drive in town? Fun fact, it’s named after Zack’s family. Less fun? Your tax dollars helped pay for it. While we’re all thinking about improving the city, Zack’s out there boosting his own legacy. Is this where we want our money going?
Cybersecurity? Not His Strong Suit
In 2023, Zack’s car dealership was hacked, putting customer info at risk. If he couldn’t keep his own business secure, how’s he supposed to protect your personal data on the City Council? A cybersecurity fail like that doesn’t exactly scream "trustworthy leadership," does it?
Leadership or Just a Fancy Title?
Sure, Zack’s been on the Planning Commission, but what’s he actually done? Besides not showing up for half the meetings, that is. Leadership is about action, not just titles. Bakersfield needs someone who’s ready to lead from day one, not someone who’s just there to collect a title.
