Hi there -- We wanted to make sure you were one of the first to hear.
ASPIRE just launched our “Adopt-A-State” initiative that will put our Asian American members of Congress in Nevada, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, and Georgia to engage with AAPI voters in these battleground states.
As reported in The Wall Street Journal, we'll “travel to battleground states with growing Asian-American and Pacific Islander populations in hopes of boosting the turnout of the Democratic-leaning bloc in the November elections” and “hold events to try to counteract what [ASPIRE Chair Congresswoman Grace Meng] believes has been an organized effort by the Republican party to appeal to these voters.”
Our efforts will ensure that Democrats win BIG in the 2020 elections.
Congresswomen Grace Meng, Judy Chu, and Pramila Jayapal, and Congressmen Ted Lieu, Ro Khanna, and Raja Krishnamoorthi are traveling to the states they adopt to turn out the AAPI vote and make the case for Democrats up and down the ballot.
With Asian American and Pacific Islanders making up more than 2 percent of the voting population in these key battleground states, turning out our voters is critical.
Today, we’re asking you to be a founding member of our “Adopt-A-State” program to help us engage AAPI voters through party-building events, round-tables with local stakeholders, digital efforts, and more.
Thank you,
ASPIRE
