David was born in Sierra Vista, Arizona, as a 2nd generation Korean American son to immigrant pastor parents. Early on, David learned what it was like to live in poverty, to help others who were struggling and to take action in advocating on the behalf of those  suffering in the community because of the great examples that his parents became for him. He was always taught to feed the hungry, to take care of the sick and to clothe the poor, and to this day, David strongly believes that this call to action isn't something just limited to the church, but something that is applicable to the U.S. government as well, a government that was created to be of the people, for the people and by the people. As such, David's been an outspoken advocate and leader his whole life, be it for those who couldn't speak English like his parents, those being discriminated for their race, religion or sex, or those suffering in other areas, like finances or physical abilities. 

David graduated from U.C. Berkeley as a History major and on a full ride scholarship as a Regents and Chancellor's Scholar. While at U.C. Berkeley, David ran for Student Senate and was elected as 1 of the 20 student senators serving the 30,000 student campus by placing 6th place out of 100 candidates during the Spring 2005 election, and was responsible for extending the university's free wireless internet to off-campus residences as well so that students could save money from paying monthly internet costs. 

After working for 1 year as an assistant director at an after-school K-12th educational learning and test prep program center, David then attended and graduated from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at the nation's premier Jewish institution, Yeshiva University, where David ran for and served as the law school's first non-Jewish student body president. While in NY, David also served in various roles and positions, including working in the New York City Law Department's Tax and Bankruptcy Litigation Dvision. 

After graduating from law school, David started his legal career by working at the LA County District Attorney's Office, in the Public Integrity Division where he worked on cases like the misappropriation of taxpayer money by Robert Rizzo, former mayor of the City of Bell, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Thereafter, David then worked in civil litigation, and litigated wage and hour, breach of contract and sexual harassment cases against employers before then working as inside legal counsel for several entertainment companies, and then founding and selling a law practice that provided niche, affordable legal services to creatives. 

Currently, David serves as an unpaid Board Member on his local neighborhood council, while also being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America - Los Angeles chapter, Los Angeles Tenants Union, and Korean American Bar Association. Having served on two previous Congressional campaigns for the same position, David is confident that he will win this Congressional seat this upcoming November General Election. 

Ghandi, MLK Jr. are my greatest role models in life. The current U.S. leaders I look up to, although don't agree with all the time, are Andrew Yang, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Marianne Williamson. 

What an honor and surprise it is for me to be running for the United States House of Representatives. I am a native Angelino, born on Hope Street, downtown LA, the third of six children by a father who was born in Panama and a mother who was the daughter of Italian immigrants. Other than six years spent in Scottsdale, AZ, and several years overseas studying or teaching, my life has revolved around California and most often Los Angeles. Our family had most holidays on Mt. Washington and held family dinners at the Pacific Dining Car or the Golden Dragon in Chinatown and I had a successful catering business for production companies. I helped organize the 1984 Olympic greeting event. I lived in Highland Park in the 1980s when I worked for Secretary of State, March fong Eu's re-election campaign and exploratory Senate race.

For the last 30 years I have been a licensed Real Estate Broker in California and recently sold a Property Management and Resort Rentals business.  I also took some time in the 1990s to earn my California teaching credential and teach for the LAUSD in South Central Los Angeles. I am not a politician. People look at me and wonder how I could be running for Congress, let alone in the most amazing and diverse district in California. But, what happened is I was campaigning for my Brother, Dr. Kenneth Wright, running for Congress CA33 and realized that I had been sleeping while I allowed a few patriots to bear the burden of protecting our liberties and my party at the time, led by Barack Obama had sorely been taken in a dangerous direction. The FBI and DOJ colluded to set up a legitimate presidential candidate. This is fact.  Do not turn away. This does not happen in America. And when he was elected, he was set up further and the badgering and undermining has not stopped. This is not America. While helping my brother with his campaing I worked with him on a solution for homelessness. We need to build new mental illness facilities and we need a comoprehensive data bank where anywone can find help for themselves or others. try using the existing system in Los Angeles. It is impossible. And the sad thing is we have all the resources we need already here  including the old County General Hospital that sits vacant because the leaders can't lead or can't make any money off it. I picked District34 because it has County General and I know that we can start solving this problem right away with my leadership. I believe my varied experience and three languages will be key in leading this solution. My love of country and the strength I find through God's guidance have brought me here and I'm ready for the challenge. In fact, it's the American dream.

The best way to describe my political philosophy is common sense for the common good. The question is what is good. To me, good is the truth, good is America first and good is doing what's right for the majority. For example, in Los Angeles, we are experiencing a form of anarchy wherein we cannot compel the homeless to leave the sidewalks because some say it infringes on their civil liberties. I believe they are infringing on the majority's civil liberties. The majority cannot walk anywhere anymore without needles, blank stares, feces, etc. and businesses are suffering, too. so this is a case of the few ruling the masses. The altruistic side of me wants to help them compassionately and in fact I have a solution that i want to take to the president and this is one of the main reasons I decided to run for office. My plan is a comprehensive one but they won't let me implement it because they won't let the LAPD enforce vagrancy laws. So, thousands of people can violate our laws and rules at the expense of the health and safety of the majority? 

I have no interest in diluting American values, our Constitution, history, capitalism or democracy. I have lived in Algeria, France and Italy and traveled to dozens of countries. I know how fabulous the diverse cultures are and I know what life is like living in a socialistic Muslim country because I lived in Algeria for two solid years. I love the melting pot that America is, but we are losing our core values to those who want socialism and globalism and the loss of our freedoms. Currently, I am sick that there is ballot harvesting, and that California is doing away with neighborhood precincts which encourages voter fraud. Outside influences are ruling our country and the mainstream media is complicit. We are plagued with apathy and contempt prior to investigation. I know because that was me until I became a delegate, started digging deep, opening my eyes and seeing what was happening and why this time, people did not accept the result of the election. My purpose is to uphold American values, which means hard work, strong families, freedom of choice and all that encompasses. And by family, I mean however you want your family. By freedom of choice, I mean eat, drink, worship anyway you want that does not infringe on others or American Law. For example, I am extremely afraid of the very real practice of Sharia Law and would vote every time that it be subordinate to American Law. I am completely against Sanctuary cities, not because I do not respect people who come to America for a better life, but because the rule of law must apply to everyone and being in this country illegally should be the last reason to be released from crime I believe if you are not here with documents, you are simply here illegally. It's not a pejorative word, it is a descriptive word. I believe hard work, obeying our laws, paying the price and being part of the solution make up the clear path to citizenship which I believe we should extend to those who came here because we were negligent in not having border protection. I believe it is our responsibility to help those who have not committed crimes, to pay a fine and then feel lproud to be here, work toward citizenshiop here and pledge allegiance to and contribute to this great country. Lastly, I think this impeachment hoax is a sad waste of time and that the Democratic Party is setting a dangerous precednt by perpetuating their petulant intolerance of President Trump. We use the electoral college to elect a president and they should have been working with the President for the last three years if for no other reason than to respect those of us who elected him who, as far as I know are still Americans entitled to their lives, their liberties and pursuit of hapiness which is being seriously impinged.
