Dr. Raymond Xie was born and raised in Chongqing, China. His family has a long history of public services. His great grand uncle, Shuqian Xie, was a senator in China's first democratic government in 1913. Raymond inherited the tradition and was active in student organizations. He was the class president throughout his elementary, middle school and high school years.
I am committed to provide the best educational opportunities for the next generation. We must ensure that we receive a fair and equitable share of state local aid, so we don't have to burden local tax payers with property tax increases. We need to honor parental rights while working with teachers and school officials for the benefit and safety of students. I support strong curriculums and more parental involvement in the classroom.
Our curriculums must include: teaching self-discipline & responsibility, personal finance management, accurate history. I also believe that our children must examine failed communist experiments in Russia, China and around the world during the last century.
