ABOUT HUNG
Hung Wei was born and raised in Taiwan. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from National Taiwan University majoring in Foreign Languages and Literature. Hung went to study at UCLA in 1979 and earned a Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. After graduating from UCLA, she moved to the Bay Area with her husband Ta-Wei Chien in 1981, residing first in West San Jose, then moving into Cupertino in 1990. Hung enjoys many activities in life. She loves to read, watch old TV series, play mah-jong and bridge with friends, make hand-strung jewelry, and tries to golf as much as her schedule allows.
In this time of crisis and beyond, we need City Council members who can provide experience, vision, and results – We need:
GOOD GOVERNANCE AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
I will responsibly use city resources to provide residents and businesses with excellent services to ensure quality of life.
MAINTAINING OUR SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRITY
I will advocate for housing solutions for seniors, teachers, and moderate income families while strategically navigating state housing laws to ensure that we maintain our suburban integrity.
SUPPORT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
I will focus on making Cupertino a sustainable city by implementing transportation strategies to reduce traffic and emissions, and support regulations that promote clean water and clean air.
