Member Spotlight: Joyce Wu
Joyce Wu is a Taiwanese Asian-American and a native New Yorker who grew up in Queens. Joyce has a Doctorate of Pharmacy and a Master’s of Public Health and works as an Oncology Pharmacist at a cancer center. She also serves on the Board of Directors of a foundation that helps build proton therapy centers around the world to treat cancer using particle physics.
Joyce grew up in a conservative immigrant household. Her parents were small business owners and fiscal conservatives who taught her that, by working hard, she could make it in the United States. Her interest in politics began in the first grade when her mother took her to the immigration building to stand on the immigration line only to be turned away multiple times. Finally, the immigration office lost her mother’s documents and application. Her mother paid a visit to her local congressman who immediately helped her become an American citizen. Her mother told Joyce that elected officials are elected by the people to help everyone who lives in this country.
Joyce is a fiscal conservative, a minority in the blue New York State and City. She joined the New York Young Republican Club after watching the political and media discourse begin promoting socialist ideology over enlightenment ideals. Leftist policies that appalled Joyce included increasing taxes and heightening income inequalities by diminishing the middle class, cancel culture, and condemnation of capitalism and freedom. The New York Young Republican Club provided an outlet for her to get more involved in helping politicians refine their messaging to the American voters who have innately conservative values by helping those voters understand how the ideals we share are under attack.
Joyce is the Vice Chairwoman of the New York Young Republican Club Asian American Caucus and a member of the Philanthropy and Campaigns Committees. In her role with the Asian American Caucus, she aims to grow the Asian American voice and representation within the Republican Party. Conservatives share the same core values as traditional Asian households, including those pertaining to family values, education, and fiscal conservatism. Asian Americans are the second-fastest-growing population, next to Latinos, and they deserve to be part of a party that will uplift their interests, not one that takes them for granted.
