Submitted Biography: "I was born in Seoul, South Korea. My father, who fought in two wars, met my mother while he was stationed in Korea. If elected, I will be the first African-American to represent Washington state at the federal level, and the first Korean-American woman ever elected to Congress. My parents wanted me to have opportunities they were denied and taught me to work hard, stay true to my values, serve the community, and to stand up for the underdog. Those values inspire me today. As the two-term Mayor of Tacoma, I helped transform a city and economy crippled by a deep recession. I led successful efforts to raise the minimum wage and pass paid sick leave. I helped create thousands of electric vehicle charging stations and raised solar energy use by 26%. We raised the high school graduation rate in Tacoma from 55% to 89% by making education a civic priority. I was proud to endorse and support the statewide initiative requiring police deescalation training, and stood with the LGBTQ community in support of Marriage Equality and transgender rights, and pass universal background checks for gun sales in Tacoma.
