OUR SPEAKER:  

George Radanovich, a Mariposa native and candidate for California StateAssembly District 8, will share his ideas on strengthening California families andhelping children. He’ll speak to us about his ambitious plan to introduce legislationto help children overcome adverse childhood experiences and to strengthenfamilies. 

In 1996, Kaiser Permanente and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)conducted a study of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) It identified thepersonal and social costs of dysfunctional and broken families, and the widerbreakdown of our culture. Democrats like to use ACEs to promote victimhoodand more government spending, but Mr. Radanovich believes we can use the issueto rebuild families and re-instill conservative values. 

Mr. Radanovich believes that with this legislation, we have the opportunity tofocus the entire State on the one issue that matters, rebuilding families. The long-term result is a conservative dream: Less crime, emptier prisons, better schools, nomass murders, fewer abortions, less gender confusion and smaller government. Hebelieves we can get the unwitting support of Democrats, while reserving the optionof a statewide ballot initiative to protect its integrity. 

Mr. Radanovich is not only focused on the family. He is also a strong supporterof Prop 13, believing that the tax burden on middle income families and smallbusinesses, including the ever-increasing gas tax, is too high. Our state’s problemsalso include soft-on-crime legislation that has made us more vulnerable to crime.We also lack water storage infrastructure and modern water delivery systems toallow farms and communities to have a reliable water supply each and every year.To find out more, go to www.George2024.com 

Here an interesting tidbit. George Radanovich opened his own winery in 1986and was the first winemaker to serve in congress since Thomas Jefferson. I saycheers to that!

Our Speaker:  

Ann HsuAnn Hsu, A San Francisco resident and a Chinese American immigrant wha has lived and worked in both the U.S. and China, is the founder and co-leader of the Bert Hsu Academy. This non-profit K-12 school is a new educational model providing quality foundational, bicultural and character education. The Academy opened in the fall of 2023 and provides an educational alternative for San Francisco and Bay Area parents seeking quality, rigorous, affordable, and bicultural education for their children. The target is to expand to 50,000 students nationwide within ten years.

Anne's mission was fueled during the pandemic as she and other concerned parents pushed back on SFUSD's failing schools, due to the deteriorating quality of education, indoctrination in education, attacks on merit, and its focus on politics instead of education. This pushback eventually let to the recall of three school board members in early 2022.

Hsu served as Chair of the SFUSD Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee, as President of the Galileo High School PTSA, and was appointed by San Francisco's mayor to serve on the school board where she gained first-hand knowledge of how the public schools function. An entrepreneur in the technology and consumer products industries, Ann let her own companies in both Silicon Valley and China. She holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from Penn State University, an MS in Electrical Engineering and an MBA from UC Berkeley.
