Zhang, ChrisStatement of CHRIS ZHANG, Candidate for
Member, Cupertino City Council
Occupation: Patent Attorney /Businessman Age: 32
Education and Qualifications:
What are some of the most pressing challenges facing our Cupertino
today? You may be concerned like me that: 1. We must preserve and
strengthen our schools; 2. Our city's budget is going into deficit; 3. Cupertino
must remain globally competitive.
Here is what I will do to make Cupertino a great place to work, learn, and
live: 1. Improve our science classes. Reduce school area traffic, and
encourage input from parents and the community; 2. Balance our budget. Stop
the trend into deficit; 3. Encourage desirable businesses. Install city -wide free
WiFi at no cost to taxpayers.
Before law school, I earned a degree in computer science at San Jose
State University, and trained under the U.S. Marine Corps officer selection
program. Having worked in the federal government and private sector, I
understand the issues we are facing and know how to solve them. Currently
volunteering at our emergency response team, I appreciate the imperative to
plan well ahead. Vote for me. Together, we will protect Cupertino's future,
starting now.
