Milpitas isn't just where I live—it's where my story began and the community that raised me.

As an immigrant child, I watched my parents work multiple jobs and long shifts to build our family's American Dream in Milpitas. They taught me that our community is built on hard work and looking out for one another. Today, as I watch my children walk the same high school halls I once did, I feel a deep responsibility to protect and uplift the home that gave my family everything. Like many residents, I want safe neighborhoods, reliable public services, a quality of life that is affordable, and thoughtful planning that looks beyond the next budget cycle.

I'm not running as a politician; I'm running as a neighbor who lives, works and is engaged in our city.

In my professional life as a healthcare worker, I lead with compassion and conviction. I see the everyday needs of our families firsthand. City decisions affect families, seniors, small businesses, and workers; those perspectives should guide policy choices. Our city government should listen to the people it serves, collaborate with transparency, and lead through practical solutions. The community's long-term well-being will be my priority and commitment if elected.

Because I'm committed to you, I refuse to take a single dime from PACs or corporations.

This is a grassroots, people-powered movement. When you invest in this campaign, you aren't just donating; you are ensuring that Milpitas remains a diverse, prosperous, and safe home for generations to come.
