JEAN QUAN: Organizer, Mother, Educator & Public Servant
“As a 30-year Oakland resident, I have dedicated my life to making government work for its residents — linking people to resources, empowering residents to make changes in their neighborhoods, and creating policy and institutions that help our youth, seniors and families thrive.”
Oakland is my home. My family has been part of this city for over a century, since my great-grandfather, grandfather and his two brothers took the ferry to Oakland after the 1906 earthquake to become a part of the new Chinatown.
