"When this opportunity came up, and we were seeing all the different things were happening with what was going on in Washington, D.C., I just realized it was time. It's time to step into the ring and really keep making a difference because I think that's one of the things that I've really learned in the past year - I can't keep silent, I've got to stand up for what I believe in and protect the values that I think are so important, not just to me, but to people all throughout our community," Chin said.
Chin is known for his repeated legal challenges to President Trump's travel ban. He admitted he's not an experienced politician, but says his 15 years in the city's prosecuting office has provided him with experience in fighting for what he believes in.
