My qualificationsBy Wilma ChanCandidate for Supervisor; County of Alameda; Supervisorial District 3 |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
I have represented Alameda for 12 years, Oakland for 17 years and San Leandro for 6 years. As your former County Supervisor I have fought hard for my communities and for working and middle class families and will continue to do so if elected.During my six years on the Board of Supervisors I championed protections for seniors and families. My accomplishments include bringing millions of dollars for the County including $16 million a year for early childhood programs and $20 million a year for health services. In Alameda, I saved the Courthouse from closure and led the successful effort that allows Alameda citizens, not the State, to control the future of Alameda Point. I formed the Alameda and San Leandro Collaboratives for Youth and their families and worked on community school partnerships in Oakland. As a state legislator, I enacted over 55 laws to help middle class families including the bill that stopped the outrageous premium increases recently proposed by Anthem Blue Cross. I wrote laws to protect seniors from financial abuse and to protect them from being victims of overpriced prescription drug plans. I plan to use nearly 40 years of experience to bring resources to our communities and protect taxpayer dollars. I will work hard to keep our local hospitals open and foster community supported redevelopment in San Lorenzo and the unincorporated areas. |
