Silicon Valley candidate apologizes over 2019 video she was seen egging family friend’s car

With one week until the election, a years-old video showing Tara Sreekrishnan egging a Cupertino resident’s car has resurfaced, moving some to raise concerns about her run for state Assembly.

Sreekrishnan, a candidate for the contentious Assembly District 26 seat, egged the car of a Cupertino resident who she felt made offensive comments regarding her Indian American background — which she said she didn’t want to rehash — roughly five years ago. A 2019 surveillance video obtained by San José Spotlight shows Sreekrishnan in a puffy jacket and sunglasses lobbing eggs at a car parked in the driveway at about 10:45 p.m. The egging followed her unsuccessful run for Cupertino City Council in 2018 — a race that has remained contentious today — but she said the incident had nothing to do with that.
