Kathy's family fled Vietnam as refugees before she was seven months old. Although many other countries offered them asylum, they waited 13 months for the United States to process our application. For Kathy's parents, America represented hope, opportunity, and freedom. Now, she's running for the Virginia House of Delegates because she couldn’t just stand by while Donald Trump and Virginia Republica
ns dismantle the ideals that brought her family here. Kathy has devoted her career to fighting for all Americans to have the skills and credentials they need to succeed. Department of Labor, she worked to shape and implement national workforce development policies and programs that served millions of workers and job seekers annually. She most recently worked at the National Immigration Forum, one of the nation’s leading immigration advocacy organizations, pushing for policies that prepare immigrants in the workforce to reach their full career potential. As a mom of five, officer in her local elementary school PTA, and former member of the Board of Directors of her children’s preschool, she is also deeply committed to investing in our public schools. In the House of Delegates, Kathy will advocate for all Virginians and fight against a national agenda that seeks to divide us.
