Bao Nguyen (politician)

[1] Nguyen was appointed to the Garden Grove Unified School District Board of Education in 2011,[5] after a close race in 2010.[10] As mayor, he sought to improve government transparency and accountability, and to engage voters by making city finance records available online.[11][12][13] Nguyen was appointed by the state governor to the Orange County Fair and Event Center Board of Directors.[15] According to the OC Weekly, "during the discussion, Nguyen called [Garden Grove] City Councilman Phat Bui 'a fucking dick,' a reference to efforts by Bui's supporters to label Nguyen a communist sympathizer for not vehemently protesting Riverside's sister-city relationship with Can Tho, Vietnam".[20] Nguyen's term as Garden Grove mayor ended in December 2016, and he was succeeded by council member/Mayor Pro Tem, Steve Jones.
