He learned English by watching \u201cThree&#8217;s Company,\u201d started working at an insurance agency\u2014 and ended up founding his own business in Silicon Valley. Today, he\u2019s not only an immensely successful businessman, but he also has been dedicating his life to public service, whether that\u2019s through his position as President of the Rotary Club of Hua Ren in Silicon Valley, or through running for government positions.<\/p>\n<p>Kuo is passionate about issues that are at the very core of the Republican Party: security, fiscal balance and immigration; he brings common sense solutions to the table. \u201cWe need all hands on deck to take California back&#8230;The roadmap is not elusive, we must make the commitment to put in the hard work to start winning elections again,\u201d he said in his campaign platform. With his strong convictions and extensive experience, Kuo is a promising new face in the party leadership, and we are proud to call him our new vice chair.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@mrthetrain?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@mrthetrain?utm_source%3Dunsplash%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_content%3DcreditCopyText&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1563398003223000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEpfyhWaaZdSn9edyrhUAz7qiI2dQ\">Joshua Hoehne<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the humblest beginnings as a busboy in a Chinese restaurant, to now getting elected to be the Vice Chairman of the California Republican Party, Peter Kuo tops just about any rags-to-riches story.
