Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m a son of Gwinnett, a movement builder, and a small business owner running because real change starts with working people and lived experiences. I grew up in Norcross without healthcare and started working young to help support my family. I’ve experienced firsthand what happens when our systems fail, including losing family when mental health systems and cultural stigma failed my cousin. Those experiences shaped my core values: dignity for work, care for our neighbors, and a representative democracy filled with working class officials, where everyone can thrive. For over a decade, I’ve organized in Georgia to turn those values into real wins—helping power historic 2020 victories, building AAPI political power with the Asian American Advocacy Fund, and securing $1.4 billion for our public schools by managing the E-SPLOST renewal. I’ve made it my life’s mission to put people over the powerful and workers over bosses. Today, I live in Peachtree Corners and run a small business centered around creating systemic change. Retiring my father and helping my parents buy a home in Gwinnett was a proud milestone—but that stability shouldn’t be rare. Every corner of this district powers our future, yet too many voices are ignored.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Support Working Families: Taxes on working families continue to rise while corporations refuse to pay their fair share. As someone who supports my family and pays these taxes, I know how heavy this burden can feel. When elected, I’ll fight to raise the minimum wage to at least $20/hr and tie it to inflation. I will also push to end so-called "right-to-work" laws, enhance collective bargaining rights, expand paid parental and medical leave for workers across the state, increase the cap on unemployment benefits, and strengthen worker’s compensation protections.Protect and Expand Public Education: I am a proud product of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and I know we have some of the best institutions in the nation. As the manager of the $1.4 billion E-SPLOST renewal, I’ve proven I can deliver the resources our schools need. My goal is to protect Gwinnett’s high standards while ensuring that every student in our district—no matter their background—has access to the same world-class opportunities I had. In the state house, I will fight to update Georgia’s outdated QBE funding formula, expand the HOPE scholarship, invest in universal childcare and pre-K, oppose book bans, and protect the civil rights of all students, including LGBTQIA+ and immigrant students.Expand Access to Healthcare: Out of the 159 counties in Georgia, nine currently lack a physician, 65 have no pediatrician, and over half are without an OB-GYN. Two hundred thousand Georgians have lost healthcare since Trump took office and Georgia Republicans still refuse to expand Medicaid. In the legislature, I will fight to get more Georgians insured by expanding Medicaid, fully funding PeachCare for Kids, and achieving true mental health parity. I will also work to end the maternal mortality crisis in Georgia by overturning Georgia's abortion ban, protecting access to contraception, and investing in maternal care across the state.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a public school graduate, I strongly believe in the promise and potential of a fully-funded and supported public education system. This begins with updating Georgia's outdated school funding formula. We need elected leaders who are proactive, not reactive, in meeting the diverse needs of our students, families, and educators. Alongside this, I also believe our state must do more to address the mental health crisis that so many Georgians face today. I plan to support legislation that ensures mental health parity at the state level. This area of public policy is deeply personal to me. I lost my cousin to suicide, and everything I do related to mental health parity is to ensure that no family has to feel the pain that mine did.

I am a proud product of Gwinnett County Public Schools. Attending one of the best high schools in our state right here in Gwinnett didn't just give me a world-class education; it gave me a sense of responsibility. I saw what happens when a community invests in its children, and I saw the doors that investment could open for a kid from Norcross. My journey began over a decade ago, organizing in the streets long before I set foot on an Ivy League campus. During that time, I worked at Alston & Bird and the Federal Defender's office, where my eyes were opened to the profound systemic failures of our legal and social institutions. Seeing how the scales of justice were so often tilted against the most vulnerable didn't just frustrate me—it gave me a mission. I eventually went on to Yale University, but my heart never left Georgia. I deepened my commitment to organizing because I wanted to understand the mechanisms of power—and why they fail so many of us. I spent years in the strategy rooms of U.S. Senators, Governors, and Members of Congress, learning how the gears of government turn—but also why they so often get stuck for families like mine. It’s time to break through those systems and bring it home for Gwinnett working families.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Immigration: Safety and Dignity for Our Neighbors. Gwinnett’s diversity is our greatest strength. From Buford Highway to Pleasant Hill, our immigrant communities are the heartbeat of our economy. I will work to ensure that Gwinnett remains a place of safety and dignity, standing against policies that target our neighbors and ensuring our local government focuses on service, not fear. With families and Americans under attack by Washington, we’ll fight together to protect Gwinnett from the severe encroachment of civil rights by the federal government.Affordability & Quality of Life: Keeping Gwinnett Accessible. We are facing an affordability crisis that threatens the very fabric of our community. As housing costs rise and private equity firms change the landscape of our neighborhoods, we must act to keep Gwinnett accessible for the people who work and live here. I will support sensible housing policies and transit solutions that connect our residents to jobs and opportunity without pricing them out of their homes.Education: Protecting and Expanding Excellence. I am a proud product of Gwinnett County Public Schools, and I know we have some of the best institutions in the nation. As the manager of the $1.4 billion E-SPLOST renewal, I’ve proven I can deliver the resources our schools need. My goal is to protect Gwinnett’s high standards while ensuring that every student in our district—no matter their background—has access to the same world-class opportunities I had.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Taxes are simply too high, and as someone who supports my family and pays these taxes, I know exactly how that feels. Our state government has the budget it needs to support working families, but for too long, more of those resources have gone to corporations than to our people. The budget is there, but the bold leadership is absent. I will fight to change our priorities, ensuring our tax dollars are invested back into the hardworking families who actually fuel Gwinnett's economy.
