As with the entire Richmond District community, we must meet, hear, and engage Asian American neighbors where they are. That means communicating in language while knocking on doors, writing postcards, making phone calls, and in the press and social media. As the only Asian American member on the Board, I know the Asian American community is not a monolith. So it is critical we are able to communicate with them directly to make sure …and affect all of us regardless of ethnicity. I would not see any difference in reaching first and second-generation individuals, as they are facing many of the same issues everyone else is dealing with.
Candidates are ordered alphabetically and rotated each week. Answers may be lightly edited for formatting, spelling, and grammar. If you have questions for the candidates, please let us know at
