Thank you, Madam Speaker.” (posted November 6, 2025).
Chu has represented California’s 28th District in Congress since succeeding Hilda Solis in 2009 after previously serving in the California State Assembly from 2001 to 2006. Born in Los Angeles in 1953 and residing in Monterey Park today at age 69, she graduated from UCLA with a BA in 1974.
