Campaign website
Zeng’s campaign website stated the following:

Social Policy We need to continue providing help for low-income and middle class Americans. This means keeping community colleges low cost and public schools affordable. We also need to adjust our welfare system where benefits, after an income threshold, have a scaling cutoff rather than an immediate cutoff. The current system disincentivizes working past a certain amount, because those that do will lose all their benefits, including access to healthcare. This punishes the middle class in particular. I do not believe in cash benefits, but the government has a duty to care for our citizens through direct non-cash programs; otherwise crime is the only option. We only have one Earth and we need to protect our planet. This means we should promote outdoor recreations, cleanups, and recycling. The decision to protect nature is an individual choice. I believe all people have the freedom to make their own decisions as an adult, but we all must accept the ramifications of our actions. I believe in a state's right to determine the best course of action for their own people. I support life, liberty, and our freedom to pursue happiness to obtain a fair chance at a dignified life. Economic Policy Inflation is caused by increasing dollars in circulation chasing the same amount of goods. It doesn't matter if you receive a gallon of milk a week for $3 or $5, you are still receiving a gallon of milk a week. Money is only a numerical representation of the distribution of goods. When we pump excess money into our economy without increasing production, we are directly causing inflation. It's just more dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services produced. The only way to lift people out of poverty and move our economy forward is to produce more. That means we need to focus on education and increased leverage of technology. We don't need people to work harder or longer, we need them to work more effectively. Increasing production will drive down the prices of goods and services, and make life more affordable for all Americans. Foreign Policy China is our foremost competitor, but not our enemy. We must win by building a world where everyone wants to be an American, while protecting our own citizens. This includes protecting American businesses and our technological advantage from espionage and theft of our intellectual properties. America needs a global presence, but we need to ensure that our actions are keen to concrete objectives and discernably protect American interests first. We will unquestionably uphold our alliances and support our friendships.[4] |

To accomplish this, City College needs to meet its due diligence. City College isn’t a destination, it’s a stepping stone to the rest of your life. Investments in the fundamentals of academics and student services are key, but so is the growth of support staff such as academic advisors. Many people who first enter City College do not have an idea of what they want out of the experience, and having someone to guide them through will reduce the time spent at City College and more on enjoying a boundless life afterwards.
I intend to keep City College free for San Franciscans forever and always, streamline requirements for graduation, and increase access to physical and digital classrooms.- Keep Education a Free Public Good
- Streamline Requirements for Graduation
- Increase Access to Physical and Digital Classrooms
