As an optometrist and local businessman, he never dreamed he would one day work in the California State Assembly. As a health care provider in predominantly low-income communities though, the need to improve access to health care is what drove him to run for office. Dr. Ed won his seat in the California State Assembly in November of 2006, in his first bid ever for a publicly elected office. He was re-elected to his second term in 2008.
