"Evelyn Chua’s commitment to community service runs deep.
Whether it’s bringing homemade meals to police officers and firefighters, delivering face coverings to residents, or spending the morning picking up garbage in an attempt to beautify the city she so deeply loves, Chua serves with a kind of natural ease. The inclination to give back is deeply embedded in the core of her being.
And now, as the first woman of Filipino descent ever elected to serve on the Milpitas City Council, Chua has even more of an opportunity to contribute to a city that is rapidly growing and evolving."

"Chua, a retired operations analyst, has served on the Planning Commission for four years, giving her insight into land-use issues. She notes that, unlike cities on the Peninsula, Milpitas has open space available for housing. She also supports making it easier to build accessible dwelling units (granny units). She opposes the measure to increase the sales tax. She backs creating a business team to help the council deal with COVID-19 recovery and would look for ways to reduce city expenses." - MERCURY NEWS EDITORIAL BOARD ON EVELYN CHUA
