Louisa Chan became actively involved when her younger daughter started school in Elmhurst. She served as President of the Parents’ Association, and brought parents from diverse backgrounds together for the benefit of the children. In 1993, she was elected to the Community School Board, and has since been re-elected twice to its three-year terms. She believes in fighting for a better education for our children through putting money into the classrooms to recruit and retain good teachers.

Louisa is a registered nurse performing inspection of hospitals and health care facilities for the New York State Department of Health. She knows our health care problems, and will take an active role in addressing them.

Louisa is also concerned about more effective use of our tax dollars. She wants to see better coordination of construction and city services. She wants to work on reducing pollution, including noise pollution, and other quality of life issues.

She would like to see more police presence in the community to ensure safer streets. She is against corruption, and has been outspoken against discrimination of any kind.
