Diedre Thu-Ha Nguyen is Mayor Pro Tem of Garden Grove, a laboratory cancer scientist, wife and mother of three active sons.
As a Council Member for the City of Garden Grove, she has worked closely to build coalitions with the Garden Grove Unified School District, nonprofits, labor, and first-responders to collaboratively promote education, public safety, and enhance business growth and career opportunities in the City of Garden Grove.
Diedre was first elected to serve on the Garden Grove City Council in 2016 and re-elected in 2018. During the pandemic, she has championed financial relief for renters who desperately need it, assistance to small businesses, and funding for non-profits providing direct help to local residents.
We’re stronger together. We’re better when we support one another, listen to divergent viewpoints and have respect for people who are different from us.
Our public policy goals need to reflect those ideals.
That means supporting our LGBTQ+ community, the immigrants who help make this country great, people of all races and ethnicities, and policies that increase opportunities for the American Dream for any American willing to work hard.
That requires us to better fund programs that help give people a hand up like quality, affordable childcare and transportation options that promote a vibrant economy that works for everyone.
