Last Friday, about 70 community members and Huy Tran supporters showed up for a greet & meet event at Crema Coffee. It was a full house as the community has heard good things about him and was curious to find out about Tran on issues.
Besides a number of Vietnamese-American community leaders, elected officials like Assemblyman Ash Kalra, San Jose Councilwoman Magdalena Carrasco, Milpitas Mayor Rich Tran and Vice Mayor Karina Dominguez were on hand to endorse him.
Huy Tran and his team of 15 volunteers can be seen canvassing District 4 for the last 6 weeks. The unpopular San Jose D4 Councilman Lan Diep has the advantage of being the incumbent and not yet campaigning. District 4 has about 20% Vietnamese-American registered voters. The second largest voting bloc is Hispanic with about 15%. The Chinese and Filipino make up about 25%.
