May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month!
It's a chance to celebrate some of the AAPI trailblazers who are too often written out of American history. Both past…
>> Wing Luke, the first Chinese American elected to the Seattle City Council in 1963
>> Ruby Chow, the first Chinese American woman elected to King County Council in 1973
>> Gary Locke, the first Chinese American Governor elected in Washington and United States history in 1996
And present…
>> 2020: Marilyn Strickland made history as the FIRST Korean American woman and first African American to represent Washington in Congress
>> 2020: Kamala Harris made history as the FIRST African American and first Asian American vice president
Our country's diversity brings us strength.
But, the AAPI community is still severely under-represented in politics.
