Lanhee Chen is a leader, problem solver and educator who has built his career on tackling some of California and America's biggest fiscal policy challenges. He was raised in Southern California and is the son of immigrants from Taiwan. After earning FOUR Degrees from Harvard University, including a law degree and doctorate in political science, he served in senior roles in both Republican and Democratic presidential administrations.
Today, Lanhee is regarded as one of America's leading policy commentators and experts. He teaches at Stanford University, where he also conducts research at the Hoover Institution. He has helped leaders in California and around the country develop policies to address some of our society's most pressing problems - like improving our health care system, saving Social Security and growing our economy. His writings have appeared in America's biggest newspapers and he has frequently shared his ideas and policy recommendations on television news programs across America and around the world.
Lanhee built his own small business, which focuses on providing advice on fiscal and other public policy issues to leaders in both the public and private sectors. He is an investor who works with entrepreneurs to help them grow their businesses and create new jobs. Lanhee has also taken an active leadership role in a variety of nonprofit organizations. He is currently the Chair of the Board of Directors of El Camino Health, a health care system in his community.
Why Lanhee Says He Became A Candidate For Controller: "The Controller is California's independent fiscal watchdog. The person who makes sure that taxpayer money - OUR money - is spent as we're told it will be. But that's not happening now. In fact, the Controller can't even tell us where she spent over $300 billion in payments in 2018 alone.
We need new leadership that isn't afraid to take on as much as $30 billion of fraud in our state unemployment insurance system."
He and his wife, Cynthia, a nonprofit attorney, their ten year old son and seven year old daughter currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
