J Z. Wang
Candidate for City Council (At-Large), Cupertino · Engineer/Caregiver/Businesswoman
J.Z. Wang describes her professions as engineer, caregiver, and businesswoman. She has been engaged in an extended legal dispute with the City of Cupertino stemming from a 2022 federal lawsuit, and in 2023 a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge declared her a vexatious litigant, restricting her ability to file further suits against the city without court approval. Wang says the city council needs to do a better job listening to and engaging with residents, and that past disagreements would not prevent her from serving on the council if elected.
