Dear Neighbors,

My name is Minh Duong, and I've lived in San Jose for nearly 20 years. I am a product of local public schools and graduated from Leyva Junior High and W.C. Overfelt High School at the top of my class. I'd earned a Bachelors degree from U.C. Berkeley in the fields of Economics, Mathematics and Statistics.

I love San Jose and chose to make it my home. My wife and I have lived in the Evergreen community.

America had provided me and my family tremendous opportunities and great life. I have owned a number of successful businesses in San Jose, and have been very active in our community in many capacities such as:

• Commissioner, Small Business Development Commission
• Commissioner, Council Salary Setting Commission
• Chairman, Education Committee, District 8 Community Round Table
• Chairman, Finance Committee of Breathe California
• Board of Director, Breathe California
• Rotarian, San Jose Rotary Club
• Executive Producer, Vietlish Generation Radio Program 1430 AM
• Vice-President, Vietnamese American Committee Action Team
• Member, Evergreen Business and Professional Association
• Member, District 8 Community Round Table
• Member, Evergreen Parents Task Force

I'm proud to be living the American Dream. I deeply want to give back to our community that has provided my family so much. I want to be your advocate and fight for our community on the San Jose City Council. I want to be your voice at City Hall. It's time to restore faith in government, and that our leaders truly reflect the will and best interest of the people.

Sincerely,

MiNH DUONG
Candidate for San Jose City Council
