6. Outlook of Campaign
LY: Tell me about your chance of winning?
Barry: No one can precisely predict a campaign with such little information and day to day changing of strength.
I will do my best. I understand that candidates preferred to be politically correct or following party ideologies may have advantages on the money and political machinery front. I’m campaigning for the people of AD28 and California. I just need every one of your support.
I need some money to better reach the residents of AD28. It is modest amount I’m planning. I’ll try to make the most efficient use. I had your support at the start of campaign and I’ll count on all my supporters.
More important though, I need volunteers. I’d like to have volunteers bringing my campaign material to every family and neighborhood. I’d like to hear back from them what are the questions people ask. I will, as always, investigate personally and get back with them.
I lost out in my first attempt to run for Cupertino City Council. I learned and did better there after. Before the second attempt, I told my supporters that I’d be among the top two. I proved that. For this campaign, I’m doing the best and I believe that I can win with your support because I represent the people here. Some of my opponents are better supported by their parties’ endorsement and special interests. I have you and I will be listening to all of you. I know I WILL win with all of you!

Updates after chat:
Barry: Today (April 22, 2014) we had the 6-2 Supreme Court ruling that voters can approve the prohibition of racial preference in higher education thus be fully “color-blinded”. It is a step forward for the new era of Civil Rights as we gradually retire the blanket application of the “positive discrimination” aspect of AA. California will be leading the nation in addressing the root cause with the wrong approach of SCA5 being shelved. I have personally pledged to uphold the equal protection clause of Constitution Amendment 14. I will continue to look for how to get everyone the equal opportunity and help they need to succeed.
I chose a private chat so that we don’t have unnecessary confusion and rifts in our recently torn Chinese American community. In our Chinese and Asian American Communities, there are different situations and belief. I have been happy communicating, meeting and working with all of them in person to listen to their thoughts. I’m happy to take questions via email at barry4assembly@gmail.com. Thanks!
