In "Community Engagement Week", I choose #5. I researched my City Representatives and I found it to be the Mayor of Oakland,Jean Quan. Jean Quan was born in Livermoore on October 21, 1949. Quan's family history in the Bay Area stretches back to the 1870's, when her great-grandfather left his village in Hoi Ping, China and landed in SF. Quan was taunted and teased growing up in her early years, so Quan found libraries and immersed herself in books.Quan became very strong in researching and reading on politics. Telling Jean Quan that she cant do something just makes her try harder to prove you wrong. Since dipping a toe into Oakland politics in 1989, simply as a parent trying to save the schools music and arts programs. Jean has strives to make public institutions work for people. She served on the Oakland Board of education for three terms, working with principals, parents, teachers and students to energize and improve public schools. She also ran for city council to bring this community based, grassroots approach to marshal, Oakland resources and to improve quality of life for all residents. Now mayor Quan makes history. Oakland celebrates the inauguration of Jean Quan as Oakland first woman and first Asian American mayor.
