Dear Editor:
In all my years of public service I have never witnessed such vicious, mean-spirited attacks on council members, which has included myself being called a racist. These cowards hide behind the curtain of online public comments now due to Covid-19. Â
Evelyn Quedado Chua is accused of being a racist against Hispanics. This is absurd! She is Filipino American with a rich Hispanic heritage! She is my friend and is one of the most considerate and giving persons I know. She does not execute any ill will towards anyone and she is always volunteering to help and works hard to help our community. Â
I have been told that it is a councilmember who is orchestrating these attacks and if it is true it needs to stop.
To those who are part of these vicious schemes, I advise you to stop. The truth always comes out at the end. The good people of Milpitas do not like negative campaigning and vote for their candidate by their merits. Â
Let’s move forward and keep Milpitas at the forefront with positivity.Â
In Spirit,Â
Councilmember Carmen Montano
