Early life and education
[ edit ]
Won was born in South Korea and immigrated with her family to Queens in 1998, when she was eight years old. Her parents, who had left their jobs in South Korea after the 1997 Asian financial crisis , both worked in local small businesses.[3] Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University .[4]

2021 City Council campaign
[ edit ]
In October 2020, Won announced her 2021 campaign for the 26th district of the New York City Council , held by term-limited Democrat Jimmy Van Bramer .[5] Queens Community Board 2 for most of the year, and cited the difficulties her family faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for her campaign. Ideologically a progressive, Won emphasized her work in the technology sector and her support for citywide free WiFi , alongside other left-wing policy priorities.[6]
Won faced 14 other candidates in the Democratic primary, many of whom also ran on progressive platforms, with no clear frontrunner among them. In part because of the size and volatility of the field, many would-be endorsers chose to remain on the sidelines, while others – including Van Bramer and the influential Working Families Party – coalesced around New York City Census deputy director Amit Singh Bagga.[7]
On election night, Won finished neck-and-neck with Bagga, receiving 18.5 percent of the vote to Bagga's 17.7 percent; every other candidate lagged behind in the single digits.[8] [9] [10] [2]
Personal life
[ edit ]
Won lives in Sunnyside , Queens , with her husband.[11]
