Maria Hsia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maria Hsia was a major figure in the 1996 United States campaign finance controversy.
Born in Taiwan, Hsia came to the United States as a student in 1973 and received a permanent resident visa in 1975. Originally, she worked for immigration law firms in Los Angeles. In 1982, Hsia began fund-raising for political candidates in state and local races.
In 1988 her work for then California Lt. Gov. Leo McCarthy's Senate campaign introduced Hsia to national politics where she eventually met then Senator Al Gore.
