Hi, John!
This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are honoring a community that is not only rich in culture and history — but also rising in political power.
Did you know Asian American and Pacific Islander voters had the largest voter registration increase in the country last year? Or that this year, 15 million AAPI voters — including 1.7 million youth — can shape over 100,000 local elections?
This community is not just participating in democracy — they are redefining it. Here’s what that power looks like:
🌟 Senator Andy Kim is the first Korean American and Asian American Senator from New Jersey.
🌟 Derek Tran is the first Vietnamese American member of Congress from California.
🌟 Danny Avula is the first immigrant and Asian American mayor of Richmond, Virginia.
🌟 Suhas Subramanyam is Virginia’s first Indian American representative in Congress.
And John, this power is about more than ballots. It’s about:
🌱 Protecting small businesses (AAPI communities own over 3 million!)
🏙️ Deciding what happens with housing, climate, and jobs in our cities.
👊 Defending immigration rights for families and future generations.
The AAPI community is building a legacy — and the momentum is only growing. Take three minutes to check your voter registration.
