In a shocking move, Monthanus Ratanapakdee, the daughter of 84-year-old Thai man Vicha Ratanapakdee, also known as "Grandpa Vicha," is taking a stand against injustice by throwing her hat into the ring for a San Francisco supervisor seat. The catalyst for her decision is a recent court ruling that allowed her father's killer to be released from prison, sparking widespread outrage and community backlash. Ratanapakdee's campaign aims to address the concerns of the Thai-American community and others who feel that the justice system has failed them. As she embarks on this challenging journey, Ratanapakdee's determination to make a difference in her community is likely to resonate with many, and her candidacy will be closely watched by local residents and officials alike.
Spurred by outrage in seeing her father’s killer set free last month, Monthanus Ratanapakdee — the daughter of the 84-year-old Thai man known to many in San Francisco simply as “Grandpa Vicha” — is launching a write-in campaign for a supervisor seat.
