Is Zack Bashirtash Really Showing Up for Bakersfield?
Let's Talk About
Zack's Mailers
We’ve all seen the glossy mailers in our mailbox, but what’s really behind them? Let’s break down the ones Zack Bashirtash has sent out:


​Let’s Talk About the Writing
Zack’s mailer has some odd phrasing that just doesn’t flow. Take “green-paint-geometries that reduce lanes”—it’s confusing and unclear. Plus, sentences like “If elected as your councilman, you will hear from me…” sound awkward and lack the punch needed to inspire confidence. Good communication is key, and this feels more like a word salad than a clear plan. We need straightforward messaging, not something that leaves voters scratching their heads!​
​
Generic Promises, No Substance
In one mailer, Zack says he’ll focus on police, fire, and streets, but it’s all fluff. There's no mention of concrete plans or specific policies. Just buzzwords that sound nice but lack detail.
​
Endorsements Galore, But What About Results?
Sure, Zack lists some local endorsements, but endorsements don’t build roads or solve community issues. What we need is action, not a list of names.
​
Is He Really Showing Up for Us?
Zack mentions “showing up” in his mailers, but with an attendance record of just 53.33% at Planning Commission meetings, he’s not practicing what he preaches.
​
Confusing Jargon
His promises to work on “green-paint geometries” for roads? Sounds more like a geometry lesson than a policy. Let’s get real about what we need—clear, understandable solutions for Bakersfield.
