Background
Evelyn Wu was born and raised in the impoverished Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco. The daughter of hardworking immigrants who owned a small but beloved local restaurant, she was exposed to the challenges of poverty and the resilience required to thrive in a tough environment. Even as a child, she harbored political aspirations, dreaming of one day making a significant impact on her city.
She excelled in her studies, driven by a desire to transcend her circumstances and give back to her community. After earning a degree in Political Science from UC Berkeley, she returned to home, determined to make a difference by working in her community.
Career
Evelyn started her career as a community organizer, advocating for affordable housing, improved public transportation, and better healthcare services for underserved communities. Her passion and dedication quickly garnered attention, leading to her election to the city council. As a council member, she spearheaded several successful initiatives, including a groundbreaking environmental sustainability plan and a comprehensive crime reduction strategy. However, whispers of behind-the-scenes deals and questionable alliances began to surface.
Three years ago, on a platform of inclusivity, sustainability, and justice, Wu was elected mayor. She has made homelessness, cracking down on gang violence, and solving the issue of The Drift key parts of her platform.
Despite these achievements, her rapid rise to power and newfound wealth have sparked controversy, suspicions of bribery, and corruption.
