Liang-Fang "Liang" ChaoCandidate Statement for Liang-Fang “Liang” Chao
Occupation: School Board Member, Engineer, Educator, Entrepreneur
Residents value Cupertino’s character and diversity, but unbalanced growth impacts
our quality of life. Loss of retail forces us to shop out-of-town. Poor planning burdens
public safety, schools, parks, and infrastructure. Environmental and traffic problems
affect our health.
As a CUSD Trustee, I brought positive changes to critical problems, including restoring
trust and replacing a superintendent. Now I hope to address vital Cupertino issues.
Council will face important development decisions at Vallco & The Oaks, Lehigh issues
and more. The State
Legislature is pushing laws to allow developers to bypass local control and
environmental review. More than ever we need our Council to advocate for residents who
value jobs-housing balance, quality schools, better environment and less traffic. I will fight
for Cupertino, working with residents to adopt sound policies.
My family has lived in Cupertino for 20 years, where our children attend public schools.
I became involved in city and school issues because decisions often conflict with residents'
inputs and best interest. I’m committed to transparency, evidence-based decision-making
and fiscal responsibility for equitable solutions that respect residents and local
businesses.
