Dear John,

I am in awe of how our campaign for Lieutenant Governor is capturing the energy and enthusiasm of Californians statewide. As I travel across the state, our platform of innovation and inclusivity is resonating with people from all walks of life. At every stop, we are encountering Californians deeply committed to the future of our state and enthusiastic about our movement, fueling conversations and rallying support for real progress. 

In Case You Missed It!

We’re making waves! In an interview with POLITICO, I explained why I’m not running for governor due to the high costs, and why I’m feeling good about our current race — I haven’t lost yet! With a focus on housing, climate, and education, I'm ready to shatter records as the first Asian Lieutenant Governor of California. Follow us closely for more on my bold vision and unwavering determination to lead California into a bright future!

Empowering Futures: My Visit to the Long Beach Boys & Girls Club

I recently visited the Long Beach Boys & Girls Club, a remarkable organization with 13 locations in Long Beach and 900 across California, half of which are conveniently situated on school campuses. The club provides safe spaces, devoted mentors, and innovative programs that empower young people to thrive. With 95% of members advancing to the next grade and a 100% on-time high school graduation rate, their impact on the community is truly exceptional!

Boosting Enrollment with NCCPC

I enjoyed meeting with the Northern California College Promise Coalition (NCCPC) to discuss boosting enrollment in our CalKIDS Program. With over 100,000 eligible students in Santa Clara County and only 7,300 registered, NCCPC's role in uniting leaders and advocating for disadvantaged students is invaluable. We're thankful for their commitment and eager to keep collaborating to empower more students in the region.
