Hello San Francisco:

Thank you for visiting our website. I am running for the San Francisco Community College Board, and I am going to work hard to earn your vote. The transformative power of education is a core belief of mine, and it is the driving force behind this campaign. City College serves over 100,000 students by way of general education and vocational courses, as well as classes teaching basic skills such as English as a Second Language and computer training.

A vocational education gave my mother a chance. She had a third grade education from Vietnam when she came to the United States, and a year later gave birth to me at the age of 16. The odds were stacked against her, but she persisted. She sought vocational training at a cosmetology school and eventually opened her own business. For her, it was the opportunity to learn a trade and a skill that gave her the chance to fundamentally change her life.

Through my education, professional experiences, and my personal journey, I know how public policy can have an impact on people's lives, and I am humbled about the prospect of having the opportunity to be an advocate for people like my mom.

I also seek to make the Community College District useful in serving the needs of the City. As I campaign throughout all of San Francisco, I want to learn more about how City College can work for you, your family, your neighborhood and your community.

I look forward to meeting you, and to earning your vote this November.

Very sincerely yours,



Steve Ngo
