False accusations on social media
Ridiculous allegations have appeared on Social Media claiming that I have a long history of suing and being sued and I’m not fit to serve on Council because of it.
Someone who is supporting my opposition posted photos of lawsuits and petitions for restraining orders involving a Sharon T.F. Kwan and a Mengjiao Gao.
This is not me.
I am Sharon Melinda Kwan.
Sharon Melinda Kwan is not the same person as Sharon T.F. Kwan.
The Middle Name is NOT the same. Sharon Kwan is a common name.
I’ve added a screenshot of the court docket for the petition filed by Sharon T.F. Kwan against Mengjiao Gao where she uses her middle initials to show that this is NOT me.
I do not know a Mengjiao Gao.
This attack against me is reckless and irresponsible.
I’m embarrassed for our City that people will use these types of tactics to smear my name in order to keep me from winning the election and to get their preferred candidate in office.

I hope that people can see the truth and understand the facts.
I was warned that this type of character assassination would occur when I made the decision to run.
I didn’t expect this type of bold-faced lies and false accusations.
I had hoped to debate the other candidates on the issues facing the City of Arcadia. I believed that the other candidates would keep this election clean and not use these “gossip” fueled attacks in an attempt to win.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss the issues the City is facing and how I believe we can address them. I believe I am the best candidate running for District 2 and I hope to earn your vote.
My name is Sharon Melinda Kwan and I’m running for Arcadia City Council in District 2.
