Collapse all
|I'm a first generation Chinese-American, and the proud product of a public school education. After graduating from Wellesley College, I attended medical school at Columbia University, where I also earned a Masters Degree in Public Health. I'm a physician currently practicing in Atlanta, GA.
I became a doctor because I wanted to help people and fix difficult problems. My decision to enter this new phase of public service stems from that same desire. Because it doesn't take much time in clinical practice to realize that many of the factors leading to unhealthy communities are beyond our ability to remedy at the bedside.
There has never been a more important time to have experienced science and healthcare voices in the Georgia General Assembly. Factors like access to affordable healthcare, access to economic opportunity, access to quality education, and public safety are broader issues than I want to address as state Senator, and the goals of my candidacy are an extension of that Hippocratic oath I took years ago. I want to help people, and that's why I'm running for office.
- Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, both from a public health and an economic standpoint, is going to take a steady, experienced hand with real-world knowledge of how health and its social factors are interconnected. There has never been a more important time to have voices with expertise in science and healthcare in the legislative arena.
- Uniform access to a high-quality education is one of the key ways to establish social equity from the ground up, and I am dedicated strengthening and modernizing public education in the state of Georgia. I've already invested my most precious asset into this system-my three children. So yes, this issue is personal and I know it is personal to every resident in District 48.
- It is one of my priorities to ensure that metro Atlanta and Georgia adopt and fund viable public transportation options. I see it as our path to solving our traffic problems, growing economic opportunity, and investing in a cleaner environment.
As a physician with an advanced degree in public health and more than two decades of experience in frontline healthcare, I think I would contribute meaningfully to the General Assembly in this moment in history, particularly in the realm of health policy. I believe I would make a difference in the area I serve by bringing a brand of personal experience, perspective, and scientific literacy that the state has sorely been lacking. I seek to be a bulwark against interests that seek to dismantle patient protections and attacks against public health that I see as vital to our state's forward progress.
I seek to be a reasoned, pragmatic, date-driven voice to cut through partisan arguments. I think that, in this day and age of partisan politics, it's a perspective that we desperately need, and I seek to be that voice and to do the work required to get there.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
