Another candidate on Monday entered the race to replace Silicon Valley Assemblyman Kansen Chu, setting the stage for one of the region’s most closely-watched races next year.
Alex Lee, 23, a policy advisor and former field representative for Assemblyman Evan Low, announced he’s jumping into the fray. He joins a slew of other candidates, including Santa Clara County Board of Education trustee Anna Song, Santa Clara Unified School District trustee Jim Canova, Milpitas Mayor Rich Tran and Milpitas Vice Mayor Karina Dominguez, who is expected to announce her candidacy soon.
Lee, who served as the student body president at UC Davis representing 29,000 students, also worked for Southern California Sen. Henry Stern and interned for former Congressman Mike Honda. Lee also ran the campaign for failed San Jose City Council candidate Thomas Duong who ran for the city’s District 7 seat.
Lee said Monday he’ll focus his Assembly campaign on addressing the “growing issues in housing, homelessness, traffic, education and climate change.”
