Why should you vote for me? Changes need to happen soon. Our political system is in dire need of new refreshing voices with diversity of knowledge. Competence instead of money talks, and who you know. Quality leaders should be judged by their values, morals, vision, and honesty.

I have been a public servant on many different occasions: I was a youth representative for Seattle’s US Department of Labor Partners Meeting in 2004 and I volunteered three hundred and twenty hours to preserve wetland and building trails at the Duwamish terminals. My leadership and service to the community has been recognized by the U.S. President Clinton for the President’s Student Service Award, twice by the U.S. Department of Labor for community service contribution and Exemplary Youth Service Award, and two consecutive years serving as a Student Leader, committees’ member, and a year as the North Seattle Community College Student Body President.

I have been an advocate for Citizens Rights. My hero has always been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and I am here because I would like to try to continue his legacy. During my leadership terms at North Seattle Community College, I challenged and re-established voting rights for students, worked to help diversify its student body, promoted student clubs working together on many special events, and also successfully challenged the college administrators to strengthen its student voices on the College Board of Trustee. As a citizen of Seattle,

I have filed complaints to the City Light, Police, and its other city government departments for habitual practice of cultural insensitivity.

What qualifies me for this position? Stated by Jemieka Muldrow, “He is an individual, who strives hard to help the community. He will go a great limb to do whatever it’s necessary to help. I see The-Anh as a man of the community that sees what’s wrong with our communities and he is an advocate for the younger generation for higher social equality, economics and education opportunity, and he works hard to solve the problems.”

Under my Leadership, the North Seattle Community College Student Government’s (NSCCASB) budget recovered from its deficit into a balanced under spent budget while increasing its productivity and efficiency, and discovered a forgotten rolled over account. I have had the honor to serve as a Youth Council for the SEA-King County Work Force Development Council, a committee responsible for distributing U.S. Department of Labor funding for work retraining and youth career readiness. I’m a small business owner that provides me with the experience necessary to manage the publics trust.

Last Journal Entry....

Dear voters, thank-you for your support. At 8,033 votes, I am overly satisfy. Wow, I have 8,033 believe in young people for leaderships. A few days before the election, I visited a YMCA day camp where I've been working at for the past nine years and the children there asking me if they can vote for me. I was shocked and amused. I ask them how they found out about the election. Blair Leath, seven year old, said that," my mommy, and I saw you in the mail." and that's why I have felt as if I've already won the election.

Here is my ending thought/journal entry for this campaign trail.

Pride & Possession

Almost four decades later and his words still ring bells in my mind. It gives me an energy boost every time I hear the phrase by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning."  I have experienced his powerful words many times before when I had to stand up for what I felt was right.  His speeches have given me the inspiration and courage to say "No!" to all the oppressions and disadvantages I have encountered in my life.

I was told that I am too young to be a politician.  I was stared at by voters who didn't want me to speak the truth.  I was labeled as a hot head and was denied for public defender assistant.  I was under served as a student of Seattle Public School.  I have lost many people I care for through illnesses and experienced first hand the violence amongst my peers.

Every mountain that I have climbed, there have been challenges that I needed to overcome.  And for the most part, these challenges were stereotypes about me and not the facts of who I really am.  I only wish there was more support in my community instead of prejudice against me as a young leader.  I love to learn from the best, in order to be the best at caring and supporting others.  I have asked myself many times before, "Does this society have a harder time accepting me here because I am not white?  Or is it because of my young appearance that couldn't raise even ten seconds of their attention.” Quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plan of dignity and discipline," and that is how I can move forward with my dream of breaking down walls and be a responsible leader.

I have had no one walk before to in order to show me the right path to take.  The ropes that I had found along the way to success were the ropes of mentorship.  My mentors are not just people, but they are part of a piece of literature that is place in front of my eyes.  It is my every reason to pursue a higher education and an equal economic opportunity for minorities.  My number one piece of literature that I live by is "I Have a Dream," spoken and written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"One of the strongest and most welcoming community in Seattle."
