Yi Chen, a co-franchiser at the French bakery Tous les Jours where the endorsement event took place, emphasized the importance of choosing a representative who truly listens to the community’s needs. Chen believes that Yan is heading in the right direction by prioritizing the commu- nity’s rights, quality education, and small business assistance.

They might run for his agenda, he might run just to get popular or to be a politician.’ But at the end of the day, it’s all about our rights, our quality education, our small business assistance, that that person is going to represent me inside the government.”
