Traffic Safety- Expand the partnership between the City and schools to manage traffic congestion. Health and Clean Environment- As a professor of chemistry at DeAnza College, I am keenly aware of the consequences of pollution and will seek compliance of existing laws by Lehigh Cement plant. Home Values- Our distinguished schools bring high value to our homes. I support sensible housing growth and enhancing our excellent community services, such as the library, senior center, and parks. I will continue to work to protect schools from further overcrowding. Promote Business- Support Apple's and Chamber of Commerce's position to preserve commercial properties. I advocate green technology. I value honesty, transparency, and community input. I will work with you to focus on what is best for Cupertino and its residents. I ask for your vote on Nov. 8.
