Wife's full name?

Wow, has there ever been less information available online about the mayor of a major city? I realize the circumstances of his appointment are unusual, but I'm amazed that not even his birthdate or wife's full name are findable with all the tricks of Google I know. At any rate, his wife's first name is Anita, but I have no idea if her last name is also Lee or not. With that lack of knowledge, I'm not going to add only her first name. Please, anyone who can find a reliable link, add his wife's full name when it is available (I assume more lengthy bio pages on the mayoral site and in the media are forthcoming), as well as Edwin Lee's full and confirmed birthdate.

Asian-American Mayors

I removed the reference to Oakland's Jean Quan being the first Asian-American mayor of a major American city, as Norman Mineta actually holds that title, having been mayor of San Jose from 1971-1975.

I also considered removing the sentence following; I'm not sure if being the first Asian-American mayor of a top ten city in terms of population density is notable enough for the lead paragraph. I also noticed that the use of top ten cities by GDP is misleading, as the referenced page uses metropolitan areas as its criteria, and so the #10 ranking is actually for the San Francisco-Oakland MSA.

I removed the reference to top 10 cities by GDP. San Francisco is not in the top 10 cities by GDP. The San Francisco bay area is in the top 10 metropolitan areas, but Ed Lee is not a mayor of the metropolitan area, just San Francisco. We should also remove the reference to top 10 cities by population density, because that's not a valuable statistic.

Birthdate

Can no one find his date of birth (not just the year) anywhere? I'm amazed that despite all kinds of searching, this information just isn't out there! Moncrief (talk) 21:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just after I posted that I found a cite, finally! Put into article with ref link: May 5, 1952. Moncrief (talk) 21:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
