Why is a hi-tech executive running for U.S Congress?

I'm running for Congress because I'm tired of seeing career politicians who are not aligned with Silicon Valley's innovation economy. Serious quality of life issues such as the housing and traffic are causing an exodus of Silicon Valley tech talent.

Hi Friend,

I'm running for Congress because I'm tired of seeing career politicians who are not aligned with Silicon Valley's innovation economy (see video). Serious quality of life issues such as the housing and traffic are causing an exodus of Silicon Valley tech talent.. As a valley high tech executive, I have the perspective of what it takes for Silicon Valley's economy - the 19th largest in the world - to sustain and expand. 

Silicon Valley must lead the world in technological innovation!  We must prepare the next generation to succeed in an autonomous world. We cannot fall behind with emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. We need to seed Silicon Valley's innovation success to other parts of California and America, so that our working-class families share in the economic prosperity.

As your next congressman, I will implement the vision plan "21 minutes to 21 counties" developing a Mega Silicon Valley to address our tough challenges, attract and retain the best talent and expand our economy. I will host monthly roundtable with our valley CEOs to ensure Silicon Valley's continued success. A dialogue towards a win-win: "What are you issues? How can I help? Here is where I need your help." 

 I will invest in education and mentoring of our youth, and launching Entrepreneurship Incubation Centers to nurture start-ups. I have already launched youth Lego Robotics and Entrepreneurship programs, and served on the California Computer Science Strategic Implementation panel for K-12."

Restoring Net Neutrality is crucial to a sustainable Silicon Valley Innovation culture. Data privacy and online security is a growing American concern. I support efforts such as The California Consumer Privacy Act that went live Jan 1, 2020, and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679. I strongly support the Internet Bill of Rights."

"I have the experience and knowledge to partner with our tech leaders to develop synergies for future success. I am prepared to champion the needs of Silicon Valley in Washington."

Please chime in and let me know what you think. Just hit reply.
