Attorney, criminal justice reform advocate, San Francisco Police Commissioner
May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Thank you to Mayor Daniel Lurie for gathering over fifty AANHPI commissioners, department heads, and city officials in a show of unity and strength.

It is an honor to serve the people of San Francisco.

So proud to stand alongside 10,000 lawyers in 50 cities who marched in support of the rule of law and reaffirmed our oaths to protect and uphold our Constitution.

I look forward to working collaboratively with my fellow members of the Police Commission, Mayor Lurie, the Board of Supervisors, and most importantly the community to conduct a national search for a new SFPD Chief.

I first met Bill Scott when he was named Chief, and I was working as a pro bono attorney on criminal justice reform issues. I have worked closely with him over the last eight years, including as a member of the Police Commission for these last three years.

All of us have walked long, winding, colorful roads to become the people we are today.

Power not panic. In difficult times we have to band together as a community to harness and exercise our power. Last week the Minority Bar Coalition of the SF Bay Area Presidents Summit brought together leaders of over 20 Bay Area bar associations to do just that.

It was an honor to gather with community in Chinatown in celebration of Paul Yep’s appointment as Chief of Public Safety to Mayor Daniel Lurie. I look forward to working together to keep our city safe and ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in SFPD.

As the son of immigrants who fled a corrupt and repressive regime to give their children a chance at a better life, it was an honor to speak on behalf of the Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area supporting this resolution defending birthright citizenship.

Tonight I attended the 30th anniversary of the death of Jim Guellf, killed in the line of duty by a heavily armed and armored suspect. After his death his brother Lee helped pass new laws to limit access to weapons and tools of war. His friends, and family have kept his memory and legacy alive.
