Focus on: Carol Liu, State Senator

Carol Liu was born in Berkeley, California and raised in Oakland, California. She is the product of a family with a family plan. The plan was that the boys would become doctors or dentists and the girls would become teachers or nurses. This plan began with her grandfather who, because he was the eldest male in the family, was, essentially, assigned the role of going to medical school. He attended the University of California at Berkeley and chose to be a dentist.

Carol followed the family plan and attended U.C. Berkeley and San Jose State college and entered the teaching profession. Her brother became a dentist. Teaching seemed to be a perfectly logical choice and had a family benefit in that it allowed three months off during the summers to work or spend time with children, when the time came. Liu utilized the family plan as she and her husband raised two boys and one girl.

Carol Liu worked as a teacher for the Richmond School District for seventeen years and then entered administration for five years. She strayed from the path when her husband's job eventually transferred him to Southern California. Then someone had the bright idea of suggesting that she run for the City Council.
