Norman N. Hsu

Norman N.H. Hsu (Chinese: 徐乃星; pinyin: Xú Nǎixīng; Wade–Giles: Hsu Nai-hsing) is a Chinese American Republican politician in Southern California. Since 1991 he has been a board member of the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District (HLPUSD).^[1][2]

Biography^[3]

Born in Singapore and raised in Southeast Asia, Hsu went on to Taiwan and studied political science at the National Taiwan University. After graduation, he returned to teach in Indonesia. Hsu immigrated to the United States in 1979, and was employed by the United States Postal Service in 1981. Hsu became active in organizing the Chinese American community in 1983 and began running for public office in 1987 for a seat in the HLPUSD Board of Education, which he finally won in 1991.

Over the years, Hsu had attempted unsuccessfully for higher offices, including the 1998 Republican primary of California's 60th State Assembly district^[4] and the 2003 Hacienda Heights city council (which failed to form in the incorporation measure) election.^[5]

Hsu was tangentially linked to the 1996 United States campaign finance controversy in a 1998 investigation by the U.S. Senate. Hsu's campaign, Friends of Norman Hsu, received a $7,500 donation from Ted Sioeng, who had donated money to local campaigns in Southern California as well as Democratic national campaigns.
