This Candidate Statement appears only in the San Francisco voter pamphlet:
Anna Cheng Kramer
My occupation is Housing Policy Executive/Businesswoman.
My qualifications are: I am an immigrant from Taiwan and became a US citizen because I love the freedom and liberties of America. The Bay Area Peninsula has been my home since 1976, living in San Francisco, East Palo Alto, North Fair Oaks and San Carlos.
My involvement in public service has been local, acting as the Chairwoman of North Fair Oaks and a member on the Economic Development Advisory Commission in San Carlos. After getting an MBA from the University of Santa Clara, I built my career investing and managing housing units throughout the West Coast and nationwide.
As Chief Operating Officer of Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition, I gained expertise on how nonprofit, safe affordable housing was financed, built, and occupied. Given my background, I am uniquely qualified to address housing issues, public safety, and the economy. We need real local solutions...not top-down mandates from the State.
Partisan politics in Washington has brought an extreme divisiveness that was never intended in our free society. I will work across the aisle and find bipartisan solutions for the border crisis and immigration reform. Federal government expenditures should produce measurable results, not enrich special interest groups.
A thriving economy is based on a free market system, not excessive government spending. Congress should reflect the will of the people and not lobbyists. I will listen to all my constituents irrespective of political affiliation with the goal of achieving Safety, Security and Prosperity for everyone. It will be an honor to serve as your US Congressional Representative.
