JOHN CHIANG for California State Controller
Description
Biography
John Chiang has devoted his professional life to making elected leaders and government accessible to all Californians and personalizing government services to touch the lives of the citizens they serve. Born in New York City during the 1960s, John's heroes inspired his journey to public service. The oldest of four children, and son of immigrants from Taiwan, John faced a world in which racism and community divisiveness were at their peak in America and being challenged by some of our nation's finest leaders and John's heroes -- Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy.
Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, the first Asian Pacific American family in their neighborhood, an adolescent John and his family faced the very challenges the rest of America was witnessing across the nation. Despite these difficulties, John learned the importance of determination, commitment, consensus building and above all, community service -- lessons he learned by following in the footsteps of his mentors, teachers and especially his mother, by her enthusiasm as an active volunteer in their community.
An honors graduate with a degree in Finance from the University of South Florida and a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, John arrived in Los Angeles in 1987 and began work as a tax law specialist for the IRS. For more than a decade, John acquired a breadth of experience working as an attorney for then State Controller, Gray Davis, and as staff member to Senator Barbara Boxer, Congressman Mel Levine, State Controller Candidate, Don Perata, and Kathleen Brown during her race for Governor.
