Chu Porter

Candidate of the School Committee for the Ward 3 families.

My name is Cindy Chu Porter of 51 Blomerth

Street; I have been living in the City of Malden since 1991. I am a Program Coordinator for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. My full time career has spanned from administrative law reviewer, to supervising various State programs and has recently taken up the task of working with the immigrants’ population.

By an appointment in November of 2011, I have served on the Board of Mystic Valley Elder Services and Community Care and committed to at home care of elders and the disabled.  In 2011, I was elected to the Malden Democratic City Committee.

As a community organizer, I have been a MassVOTE volunteer doing voters registration since 2007. I was elected as chairwoman of a Board of Trustees for a Homeowners’ Association from 2010 to 2012. I was an Associate Human Rights Commissioner for the City of Quincy from 2010 to 2013. I am proud to have supported the Quincy Asian Resource Inc., and locally, the Chinese Culture Connection in Malden.

 I am running for the Malden School Committee seat with experiences of more than 20 years of local activism. My objective now is to focus my energy to support our children and parents of Ward 3 in Malden and to represent the Malden Public Schools.

I have heard over and over again that it is not easy to be a teacher. My goal as a school committee member is to work toward improving school performance and supporting a workforce aided by administrators, the city, and its own representation.

My two children graduated from the public school system.  I believe in public school education. For public education, we are less different, we learn from materials that are trustily presented, we learn social skills to interact and in preparing our children to become well-rounded adults.

 I graduated from the Taiwan Catholics Girls High and studied one year of English at Newton North High School before earning my B.A. in public communication from University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I also hold a graduate management certificate from Radcliffe College in Cambridge. I am married to Mr. Cameron Nichols Porter and celebrated our 20 years anniversary this year.

Thank you for all your support. I will offer my assistance at cport2007@gmail.com, or at 781-321-8337.
