Why are you running for reelection?
I feel I’m an education expert and therefore the best person to advocate for my students and colleagues.

What are your top priorities?
The health and well-being of students and staff, especially mental health, school safety, transparency and clear communication.

Why is it important to have educators on school boards?
Educators are at ground zero, where everything is happening. We are the experts. We know what our students need. We know the real struggles of teachers and educators in the school and in the classroom. We need people who understand what goes on and what is needed when it comes to making important decisions that affect our students and educators.

What does it mean to you to be part of the movement to protect and defend our public schools?

I ran four years ago and became the first Vietnamese refugee immigrant to be elected in the city of Alhambra. The work continues. In these uncertain times, we need school board members who will protect public education and fight for our students and educators.

How important is the November election?
Please vote! It’s not just school board races, but we need to vote to protect democracy, women’s right to choose and public education, and keep the ugly monster out of our White House.
