Endorsements & Quotes

"I've had the opportunity to work with Nancy Hsieh since last year on various issues that impact the public school education in SMFC district. From the beginning, I was impressed with Nancy's depth of knowledge, organizing capabilities to bring people together and her willingness to see both sides of an issue.

When we worked on the middle school math pathways issue with the school district & board, Nancy exhibited courage, conviction and energy in leading and driving the issue. She was able to bring together people from various parts of our school district and work on the common cause. Her honesty, sincerity and passion towards all educational issues are great strengths that our school board will greatly benefit from, if she is elected as a member. I fully endorse and support Nancy's candidature for the SMFC school board."
