** Endorsements

** Bobby Bliatout for Congress
------------------------------------------------------------
AAAFund proudly endorsed Bobby Bliatout ([link removed]) for California's 22nd Congressional seat, against incumbent Devin Nunes. Bobby is the son of Hmong refugees, a former farmer, a cancer survivor and nonprofit healthcare leader. His leadership earned him the endorsement of many California state elected officials and civil rights legend, Dolores Huerta.
“We are excited to be supporting a proven leader with courage, heart, and integrity,” AAAFund California Chair and National Board Member Gautam Dutta said. “Bobby will see to it that the entire community of the diverse 22nd District will be represented in Congress.”

** Clearinghouse Update
------------------------------------------------------------
** Presidential Campaign Calls
------------------------------------------------------------
We've been talking to every major Presidential campaign about their AAPI outreach strategies in our Clearinghouse calls, and organizing in our community is better than ever.
Last week, we spoke with the Sanders and Buttigieg campaigns about their plans to better engage our AAPI community. As of now, our calls have featured staff from the Bloomberg, Yang, Klobuchar, Warren, Harris, Biden, and Booker campaigns to discuss their AAPI organizing strategies. Almost every operation has hired a national AAPI organizer and many translate election materials into several languages.
