Bobby Bliatout for Congress
AAAFund proudly endorsed Bobby Bliatout 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 has 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,” said AAAFund California Chair and National Board Member Gautam Dutta. “Bobby will see to it that the entire community of the diverse 22nd District will be represented in Congress.”

Presidential Campaign Calls
We've been talking to every major Presidential campaign about AAPI outreach strategies in our Clearinghouse calls. Organizing in our community is more visible 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 have translated election materials into several languages.

We joined NBC's #AAPI2020 Presidential Twitter Town Hall!
Our media team participated in a groundbreaking event designed to bring AAPI voices and issues to the national forefront. Co-hosted by AAJA, APIA Vote, AAPI Data, and the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans, the town hall challenged eight participating presidential candidates on AAPI issues like data disaggregation and representation.
