Silicon Valley Chinese Association (SVCA), an organization with strong grassroots membership in the Chinese American community in Northern California, today announced that the organization has endorsed Ellen Lee Zhou in her endeavor to run for San Francisco Mayor in 2019.
Ellen Lee Zhou is a courageous and devoted community leader and social worker with a strong grassroots support. She vows to tackle head on San Francisco’s urgent and yet complex issues such as expanding homeless population, safety and sanity and protecting rights for all people. We are convinced that her practical experience in collaborating with various government agencies as well as her conviction to challenge the status quo are what San Francisco citizens need. We applaud her efforts to turn the city around, including rebuilding the deteriorating basic services, restoring law and order, fighting illegal drug dealing, protecting private property, restoring basic sanity, putting tax dollars to where they belong to improve homeless people’s lives, to name a few.
