First things first - hooray for NorCal conservatives! I’m a UC Berkeley Republican and it can get rough sometimes lol. Aside from that, of course you should list any published articles or general life events/situations that you are proud of and consider relevant to your path to academic success - relevant being the operative word. It’s a good thing to talk about your passions, but only as long as it is within the context of how they’ve helped you become a better student or person, etc, or how they fit into your overall path to grad school or a career and why they would make you a valuable UC candidate.
