District 8 is my home. It’s the neighborhood I was raised in – the same neighborhood my wife and I are raising our two young children in – and I want them to grow up in an even better neighborhood than the one I had when I was growing up here.
When I immigrated here as a teenager, I went to Chaboya Middle School and graduated from Silver Creek High School when I was 17. I’ve seen first-hand how this community has changed in so many ways for the countless neighbors I’ve connected with over the decades, be it through my professional or personal experiences.
I want to address the things we are all concerned about – traffic safety, crime, homelessness – because it affects everyone. It’s simple to me – I have seen the highs and lows of this community, its strengths and weaknesses, and I know what the community needs right now.
We have no time to waste, I’m ready to hit the ground running and provide District 8 the leadership it deserves.

Contributions from entities and individuals (including lobbyists, lawyers, etc.) with pending land use and government contracting matters before the San Jose City Council and those who have received a final decision on such matters within the earlier of 01/01/23 or the preceding the 12 months are restricted to a single, cumulative $250 contribution limit.
The Levine Act requires a Party in a Proceeding before the City of San José that involves any action related to their contract, license, permit, or use entitlement to disclose any campaign contributions to City elected or appointed officials totaling more than $250 within the 12 months prior to the City decision. A Participant to a Proceeding may voluntarily report a campaign contribution on this form and submit to City.clerk@sanjoseca.gov.
California Government Code Section 84308, most recently amended by SB 1439, and commonly referred to as the "Levine Act," prohibits a local elected official or quasi-judicial appointed official from participating in any action related to a contributor's contract, license, permit, or use entitlement if the official receives any campaign contributions totalling more than $250 within the twelve (12) months prior to the City decision, and for twelve (12) months following the date a final decision has been made, from the party, participants, or agents in the proceeding. The Levine Act / SB 1439 also requires a member of the San José City Council or San José City quasi-judicial body who has received such a contribution to disclose the contribution on the record of the proceeding and recuse themselves before the proceeding unless the violation has been properly cured.
If you have a pending land use or government contracting matter or have had one within the earlier of 01/01/23 or the preceding 12 months before the San Jose City Council, this is not a solicitation to make a cumulative contribution above $250.
Contributions from cardrooms, cardroom owners, board members of cardrooms, and any person in a management position (with the power to hire and fire employees) of a cardroom are prohibited.
Any contribution to this campaign may be transferred to this candidate's campaign for reelection or another city or noncity campaign at Tam Truong’s sole discretion.
