As a little girl, my family fled communist North Korea while the Korean War raged around us. My parents were determined that regardless of the struggles we had faced, I would get a chance to live the American Dream.
Getting to the U.S. was not easy, and once here, I still had to overcome countless obstacles, charting a path to where I am today: one of the first Korean-American members of Congress.
My mother owned a humble clothing store in California yet was constantly crushed by overbearing tax regulations. I built a coalition of community members and was elected to the State Board of Equalization - the nation’s only elected tax board – where I represented more than nine million California residents.
Now I am a member of Congress. I listened to the voters, and together we defied every prediction and flipped our district from Democrat to Republican.
Unsurprisingly, the radical left is after me. They are trying to unseat me in the MOST IMPORTANT election of the year.. I am a woman, a conservative, and an immigrant. I have spent my whole life fighting, but now I need your help. Washington liberals know how much is at stake and will do anything to stop me. Can you chip in any amount today to save my seat and let me keep fighting for you?

Growing up, I heard of the horrors of communism from my parents, who had fled North Korea. We didn’t have much growing up, but I worked hard and learned English, making it my third language. My mom and dad encouraged me to dream of a better life – and I did. I became an American. Please consider chipping in just a few dollars today to help me in this must-win battleground race.
