First Asian-American journeyman wireman to be appointed as a Business Representative and union official to San Francisco's Local Union No. 6 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Before becoming a Business Rep, John worked with the tools in the field as a wireman construction electrician for at least 10 years. John was representing Local 6 at Leland's kick-off rally and to lend support and people power to Leland's mayoral campaign. John further reminded me that I.B.E.W. Local 6 has supported Leland in every election that he has entered since the very beginning, when Leland first won a seat on the SF Board of Education.
