Every Child Deserves a Voice

I'm Virginia Cheung, and I'm running for the San Francisco Board of Education.


I'm a single mother, public school parent, early childhood educator, and the daughter of refugees. My life was changed by public education.


I began kindergarten unable to speak. I stood at the bus stop crying until a teacher took my hand and rode with me to school. Because she saw me, I became the first in my family to graduate from college.


Today, I know that no child's future should depend on luck.


I've spent my career improving opportunities for children and families—from helping lead San Francisco's largest Head Start provider to serving as Chief Advancement Officer at Open Door Legal. I'm running to ensure every child has access to excellent public schools, outstanding teachers, safe learning environments, and the support they need to thrive.


This campaign is powered by parents, educators, and our community—not corporate special interests. In 2024, our grassroots campaign earned the support of more than 100,000 voters despite being vastly outraised. Now we're building the coalition to win on November 3.


Every contribution helps us reach more voters, knock on more doors, and build a school district where every child is safe, seen, valued, and heard.


Please donate today and help us give every child a voice.
