Wilma Chan for Alameda County Supervisor 2010

As the former Supervisor representing this area, I know first hand the issues affecting this district. During my six years on the Board of Supervisors I championed protections for seniors and families. My accomplishments include bringing millions of dollars to the County including $16 million a year for early childhood programs and $20 million for healthcare from suing Big Tobacco.  In Alameda, I saved the Courthouse from closure and led the successful effort that allows Alameda citizens, not the state, to control the future of Alameda Point.  I formed the Alameda and San Leandro Collaboratives for Youth and Their Families and worked on community school partnerships in Oakland. I received the Champion for Children Award from the Children’s Hospital Association and prevented the County hospital from closing. As a State Legislator, I enacted over 55 laws to help middle class families, including the bill that blew the whistle on the recent outrageous premium increases by Anthem Blue Cross. I wrote legislation to prevent hospitals from price gouging and a law to prevent senior financial abuse. With county government facing cutbacks, I will use my 40 years of experience to bring resources to our community and protect taxpayer dollars.
