Dr. Vanila Singh for Congressional District 17


BayAreaGOP is proud to endorse Vanila Singh for Congress in District 17.  As a Professor and Physician at Stanford University, Dr. Vanila Singh has always prioritized the well being of others in her community. She is ready to bring her real world experience as doctor, parent, and community leader to Congress to help make a difference for families in California.

 

Vanila Singh works as a Clinical Associate Professor at the Stanford School of Medicine in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine.


Her Congressional district 17 is at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay in Silicon Valley and includes Fremont, Milpitas, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, and North San Jose.  See the map.  It is the first majority Asian-American district in the mainland United States.

The opponents are two Democrats:  incumbent Mike Honda and Ro Khanna, a tech lawyer and former Obama Administration official.

 

In her campaign, Vanila Singh emphasizes providing opportunities for our children,  reducing waste in government, and smarter healthcare.  She rejects the Democrats' attempt to reintroduce racial discrimination into college admissions with through SCA-5.

 

Vanila is the embodiment of the American Dream. She is the daughter of hard working, immigrant parents who brought her to the United States when she was just a year old.

 

Her father, a civil and structural engineer, has worked on some of the most famous structures in the area, including the San Mateo Bridge, the SFO airport, and the recently completed San Francisco Bay Bridge. Vanila's mother is a former bank processor and substitute teacher, who spent hours serving her community through civil organizations and volunteering.

 

The values instilled in Vanila - the importance of family, hard work, respect for all individuals, and giving back to the community - are an integral part of who she is and why she has chosen to run.

 

Vanila Singh grew up in the current 17th District and is a product of California's public school system, graduating from Washington High School in Fremont. She  attended UC Berkeley, majoring in both Economics and Molecular and Cell Biology.

 

Singh pursued medical school at George Washington University. She met her husband there, and they were married in 1998.

 

After spending a year as a medical intern at Yale New Haven hospital, Vanila was drawn to acute care medicine. She moved to New York City and completed her residency in Anesthesiology at Cornell Medical Center.

 

Vanila further specialized into a field of pain medicine with a fellowship in Pain Management in a joint program between Cornell, Columbia, the Hospital for Special Surgery, and Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center in Manhattan.

 

In 2004, Vanila was appointed to the Faculty of Stanford Medical Center where she has been treating patients with complex pain management issues with dignity and compassion. She has been promoted to Associate Professor of Anesthesiology.

 

Her passion to care has drawn her focus to those who truly suffer - a patient group often overlooked because of the difficult nature of their illnesses. Through her study of anesthesiology, Vanila practiced making rapid, complex decisions with life and death implications.

 

Vanila has taken a leadership role in education and training for our next generation of doctors, identifying gaps in medical care and helping rewrite our medical system training programs. She is the co-director of the teaching scholars program at Stanford.

 

After settling in Silicon Valley, Vanila and her husband welcomed two children and have been involved in their community.

 

Recently, she served as an elected delegate and member of the Legislative and Practice Affairs Division to the California Society of Anesthesiology, where she participated in health policy initiatives designed to maintain quality of care while expanding access to the health care system.

 

Vanila has taken an active role in promoting women's issues including helping bring awareness to the persecution of young girls around the world.

Vanila lives where she grew up, in Fremont, with her husband and two children.  You can learn more about Vanila's campaign on her campaign website.

He also shares a law office in Los Gatos with his son, specializing in Healthcare Law.  He is running in District 18, which runs from Redwood City to Mountain View and into Santa Cruz Mountains communities.
