Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Harvey Tong, I graduated from Alief Hastings in 2017 and the University of Texas at Austin in 2021. Being a student not along ago myself, I understand exactly what students want and need. Most of the time, their voices go unnoticed. I'm running for Alief ISD Board of Trustee in the hope to close the generational gap between decision makers and the people who are directly effected by it - the students.

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?

• Closing Generational Gaps
• Changes Come From The Youth
• Connecting Students - Parents - Alief ISD

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Local policies that directly impact the community. I am passionate about providing post-highschool resources to prepare students for higher education and the workforce. I am also passionate about culture diversity and inclusiveness within the school district. I aim to listen to the students and parents and strive to serve their needs.
