I spent my early career in the care industry working in early childhood education, hospice care and disability services. Even when I changed career paths into government administration I never lost sight of the people who make up the community and the importance of serving them. My time working in a City Manager's Office as an Aide and for the State of Colorado in higher education has informed my belief in the importance of local governance. I know from experience that the government is meant to serve the community, and that this gets lost when we don’t put people before politics, distracting us from the local issues.
- With a Dem majority in the Colorado House needs of communities like ours are getting lost in committee meetings and long before the voting even begins. We need a representative that can work for all the people of HD44 and also get along with their colleagues at the state. As a longtime unaffiliated voter I put people before politics and will get our district back in the conversation and our needs factored into state legislation.
- I believe in community service and that we deserve responsible stewards of our beautiful home. This means working on Safe and Sustainable Water, Reliable Transportation and Roads and Protected Open Spaces.
- When I am elected in the fall I will be the only AAPI representative in either the House or Senate in Colorado. Representation matters and hope to help make sure the needs of the AAPI community across the state will be better heard as more of us run for and win elected positions.
Small Business - a long time board member of the Asian Chamber of Commerce I care deeply about how we help small businesses thrive. We know they bring jobs, character and economic growth to our communities. Policy should help them succeed and remain competitive in the economy.
