Hello, I am Karena Feng and I'm candidating for the congressional representative of California District 9, this coming 2022 election. Four years ago, I came across families whose homes were raided, and no one responds to their plea of family destruction. I found out about the massive factions and corruption involved in the steal-your-child industry. There are too many victimized parent and children that were forced to stay silent or suffer the consequences. I have written the California Initiative 1895 to bring justice into the systems. As a mother, it is my duty to care for my children 24/7. As a citizen, it is my duty to report problems with the system. As a candidate, it's my duty to share that knowledge so that when I start representing District 9, the efforts can be delivered. The pains families go through to survive, the stress of red tapes, while careers turn into jobs, and jobs into unemployment has all got to be restructured as soon as possible. We are campaigning at a grassroots level. I am here to get everyone's lives improved. We're here together my friends, we all came a long way. Join me in this sacred journey, where we can do much better. Our path is to real hope, opportunity, shared success, and prosperity, for all, thank you!
  • I'm running to improve children and family justice
  • I want to continue working for we the people in education, infrastructure, equality, healthcare, diplomacy, family bonds, and criminal justice
  • There are so much work to be done, and we need to move forward in securing we the people's future
I believe in biological families belonging together. We should support and assist the children's happiness.
I look up to Dr. Sun Zhong Shan because he truly cares for people's freedom, growth, and happiness.
I believe in putting the people bigger than myself, and considering District 9 and California's best interest at all times.
I work tirelessly around the clock. I am compassionate and put humanity first. I'm meticulous ad strive for perfection with my work. I'm humble and appreciate helpful input. Finally, I am responsible and will do everything possible to move forward on delivering the best for District 9.
I believe the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office is to listen to the people and address proper concerns to help the community thrive.
A legacy I would like to leave is making a great difference for District 9 to live happy.
I was thirty years old when my father told me that there was an emperor in my ancestry as well as a president.
My first job was a grassroots campaigner for a politician.
My favorite book is the Chinese book of proverbs because it reminds us of the love for we the people in all we do.
The last song stuck in my head is a song I wrote called "Everything."
Something that has been a struggle in my life is staying strong and standing back up as a single mother after the taking of my family's wealth.
I perceive the United States' greatest challenge over the next decade is dealing with the pandemic and getting everyone back to health without further due.
Yes, I believe two years is a good term length for representatives.
Term limits encourage scrutinization by furthering election-related magnification processes, that supports democracy.
My favorite joke is: Issues in District 9 can be fixed by tomorrow.
Compromise is necessary for successful policy making.
