This landslide victory was made possible by each and every one of you coming together for the vision of welcoming, safe, inclusive schools for every Mt Diablo student. And now our coalition working to realize that vision is broader & stronger for it.

My deepest gratitude for going on this journey with me,

p.s. I also want to say thank you to Herbert Lee for entering this race. Having an opponent gave us the opportunity to be on the ballot and  therefore to engage voters this election season in deep conversations about how to best support our local public schools.

Have you turned in your ballot yet?

My husband and I used to have a tradition of taking our kids with us to the polls, and now we just walk over to the ballot drop box down the street at the Ygnacio Valley library. We voted last Monday!

Turn in your ballot ASAP to make sure it gets counted. There's a drop box at the Clayton library too!

There are so many convenient ways to vote:

#BreakingNews - our campaign received endorsement from the East Bay Times!

Here's the headline:

Editorial: For Mt. Diablo school board, reelect Khaund and Mason
During trying pandemic times, they have made tough decisions to protect teacher health and district finances

I appreciate that they recognize our school board’s hard work from the past few years.

And, this Sunday is my birthday. 

What's the best birthday gift you can give a candidate?  Your time, energy and enthusiasm!

Join me this Sunday to walk door to door to spread the word and ask voters to support my re-election to Mt Diablo School Board.

Thank you to everyone who has walked with and for this campaign so far. Here are some fun photos!

What fun it's been to get out and about, meeting people in person! 

You never know who you’ll meet where.  I ran into Tilly while walking my dog, and found out she is the custodian at Walnut Acres Elementary. Thank you, Tilly, for all you do for our students!

Jenny Kim is a Walnut Acres parent I have admired for years, ever since she organized the first International Fair there. And now she is Principal of the local Walnut Creek Korean school, so be sure to check them out to learn Korean for free!

Wonderful to meet Bill Hansen, first principal of Northgate High, along the route of Northgate Band March-a-thon where I was a parent volunteer bike chaperone.

And at Monument Impact’s gala I got to meet these two YVHS students who were recognized for their excellent commitment to serving community

Then there were political events. Thanks to Amanda Regenstein for being my spokesperson at the Gun Sense Candidate event.
