My name is Dan Wang, and I’m a candidate for the KPFK Local Station Board.

As fellow listener-sponsors, you all know how valuable KPFK is to us in the Southern California progressive community, but these are challenging times for the station. Corporate media has become increasingly consolidated and has marginalized legitimate viewpoints. At the same time people who choose to seek out independent media have more choices than ever including political blogs, online news sites, and two competing progressive public radio stations. I welcome all these voices, and I look forward to helping KPFK stay relevant and healthy in this increasingly competitive environment.
