Eight days past the election, it is finally safe to predict the outcome of these three races:
1. Andrew Do, chief of staff of County Supervisor Janet Nguyen, will win his Garden Grove city council seat. It was a tough race with three Vietnamese-American candidates in the mix. But he is pulling ahead with over 1,000 votes to spare.
2. Steve Ngo, a first time candidate in San Francisco, will win his seat in the Community College Board. At a young age of 32, he is clearly an up and coming Vietnamese-American politician. He ran a masterfully executed campaign to win over 85,000 votes.
3. Diep Truong, an assistant to State Assemblyman Van Tran, is in a tight contest. With only a few hundred ballots left, he is behind by 180 votes. The conventional wisdom is he would win by a few hundred votes. If he loses, it would be no more than a handful and there would be a recount.
Congrats to all three candidates for an exciting campaign full of drama.

Steve Ngo is the worst thing that has happened to the Community College Board in years. He is anti-faculty and has mandated classes without thinking about funding. Most of the classes he insisted CCSF offer were canceled because there were no students. This guy is a megalomaniac and needs to get off the board. Time for him to move on to his next political office. It's obvious the Board of Trustees is a stepping stone for him.
