#WhenWeAllVote

Look for Ava Chiao on the November 3rd, 2026 ballot. Cupertino Union School District Governing Board is a non-partisan race, so all eligible voters can vote.

Here, I am advocating at Capitol Hill in Sacramento, CA supporting public charter school accountability and transparency. For example, Assembly Bill 1505 requires charter school teachers to be teaching classes in which they are credentialed in.
