🎙️ Otto Lee’s Inspiring Journey: From Immigrant to Civic Leader
In this powerful and personal speech, Supervisor Otto Lee reflects on his journey from Hong Kong to the U.S. at age 15, overcoming language barriers as an ESL student and facing both victories and defeats in political life.
He shares stories of resilience — from being told he wasn’t good at English, to building a life in public service, to serving in Iraq. His message is clear: “It may take time, but don’t give up.”
This is a story of perseverance, sacrifice, and the courage to keep going — whether in the classroom, on the campaign trail, or in service to the nation.
