Education and Qualifications: I have a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and Marketing and an Associates of Arts in Legal Studies at the Central California College of Law.

I am a voice for the people. My work and volunteer responsibilities consist of domestic violence and veteran’s right advocacy, crime prevention and maintaining family togetherness.  My heart is touched by the downtrodden people who struggle to access the American Dream. As a refugee from Laos since 1976, I understand the concerns of all Fresno residents and feel compell to be a voice in the decisions that affect our city.

Bringing practical life experiences of advocacy and legislative activism within the Central Valley.  Due to its agricultural benefits, Fresno has the largest concentration of Hmong in America. My strong Hmong patriarchic family roots are drawn from elder respect, who taught us to strive at being good citizens while attaining education as a pathway to our future.

I stood for the late General Vang Pao and 11 veteran leaders falsely accused of over-throwing the country of Laos. In District 5 Latino community DUI cases, hit and run crimes, murder/suicide cases; I have spoken enough advocacies.  It is time to LEAD our communities to a higher-level involving policy changes that benefit all communities while aligning different cultures together bringing livelihood to our city.
