Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a refugee from China, I came to the United States to live in a society where all people are treated equally and inclusively. Inspired by the liberty of America, I am running for Congress in District 10 because I want to make government truly work for everyone. Too often, our neighbors and loved ones are left behind by inaction, inequity, or injustice in our country. How can we allow our current Congressman to remain in office when so many in our district are struggling economically, physically, or mentally? As a community leader, pastor, and veteran, I know the issues we face, and I know how to work together to fix them.

I understand the challenge of restoring your trust in Congress so that we can plan a new path forward as we rebuild our country. I am inspired that we came together as a community of all people, to take care of and protect one another during the pandemic. But there is much more work to be done for our citizens. As we continue to recover, it is imperative that we have leaders who are PRESENT in our communities, so they can learn what help is needed to build back better than ever before!

No elected official should be able to legislate on behalf of their constituents, without proving their presence in the district, or without fostering their trust with residents and local business owners.

We are communities built on acceptance, persistence, and hard work. It's time for real solutions, and I will stop at nothing to rebuild and modernize our communities.

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?

No one should worry about their safety because of how they look or where they come from. We must restore compassion to our society, and make our district a place of refuge and advancement. Our citizens deserve access to safe streets, subways and parks without fear of attack.I will fight to rebuild our economy and incentivize local businesses to open right here in our neighborhoods.We must be steadfast in our commitment to provide quality education in order to serve our students better. Our children deserve to thrive in school academically, emotionally and physically.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I believe government can work for our people, but only when it is responsive, proactive, and transparent. If elected, I will deliver these promises to you, so that all future generations of Americans can live in prosperity. Let us persist for the better of society. Join my grassroots movement and elevate your voice for change in your community. United by perseverance, we can achieve anything as we rebuild together?
