It has been the honor of my life to represent you in the California State Assembly. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve my home district and hope  to continue to serve the communities of San Jose, Milpitas, Fremont, Newark and Sunol as your Aassemblymember for another term.

Since my first day in office, we have challenged the entrenched special interests that block progress.  Since taking office, together, we’ve secured over $84.6 million in investments for our district and I’ve had 42 of my bills signed into law including expanding fresh food access, improving safety at crosswalks through daylighting, and instituting the banning of cat declawing. However, we’ve only just begun. 

As Chair of the Legislative Progressive Caucus, I’m proud to lead the fight to build social housing, establish universal healthcare, combat climate change, defend everyone’s civil rights, uplift our unhoused neighbors, support immigrant families, and root out corporate special interest money from politics. Every day, I fight for our community, just as you placed your trust in me to do. 

My family immigrated to the Bay Area from Hong Kong and found new opportunities and a new home here in our diverse community. Both my parents worked full-time and I took public transit to public schools in Milpitas. Yet, as I grew up, I saw more and more families struggling to build a future here. Close friends and families were being priced out of the community they loved and often moved far away. The crises we are living through requires that we fight for bold solutions.

In my first year in office, I was named “Legislator of the Year'' by the Golden State Manufactured-Home Owners League (GSMOL) as well as the California Attorneys for Criminal Justice (CACJ), and named ACLU California Action's Civil Liberties Champion, Courage California All-Star, and NARAL Reproductive Freedom Champion.

I’m proud to be part of a new generation of leadership that will put an end to the structural inequity that has led to our state’s most pressing challenges and has stalled our most important solutions. Only by putting people and policy first can we achieve a California that is equitable and prosperous for all.
