Public safety, crime & policing: “Keep violent offenders and repeat criminals off our streets”
(Campaign website) ABOUT AZURE DUAN: “She worked hard, often taking on a full course load earning her masters degree and a full-time job in IT, to build a life here. While working, she earned her green card, proving that through hard work and doing things the right way, the American Dream is still possible. Along the way, a professor who encouraged her during a tough season told her: “Young lady, I believe someday you will become a great citizen.” That moment planted a seed in her heart — a belief in what America stands for and a commitment to give back.”
