Chang, BarryStatement of Barry Chang
Candidate for Member, Cupertino City Council
Occupation: Small Business Owner Age: 57
Now that California braces to meet its newly enacted budget, the
members of City Council must make critical decisions to maintain
educational standards, control expansion and ens~.~re transit safety.
As a resident since 1985, family man whose children all attended
Cupertino schools, small business owner and vol~~nteer, I have a long
term stake with our community.
Having served two consecutive terms (1995-x',003) on the
Cupertino School Board, I have dealt with issues such as the
consequences of rapid growth on our schools and the challenges of
maintaining atop-rated school district despite low levels of funding.
During my term I resisted pressure to sell "surplus" school sites
to developers, successfully passed School Bonds. re-opened Eaton,
and renovated a1122 schools on time and within budget.
Serving four years as Cupertino Public Safet}~ Commissioner, I
address all aspects of public safety and keep our :streets safe.
I want Cupertino to be a place where culture, businesses, city
services, conservation, green technologies, and residents thrive, a
wonderful city to visit, live, work, and retire.
I have the Experience, Vision, and Desire to meet this challenge.
I respectfully ask for your support. Please visit:
