Dear John,
As you've probably heard, a Texas Representative questioned Judy's loyalty to the United States last month. It's absurd — and it's rooted entirely in anti-Asian racism.
Judy has been a tireless fighter for our communities for years. She got her start in politics fighting against a racist English-only ordinance in her hometown of Monterey Park, and she's been working towards more diverse, inclusive systems ever since.
Not only has she ushered in major legislative wins, but she's also been a trailblazer for young women of color, especially AAPI women, interested in public service. It's a huge accomplishment, which is exactly why racists like Lance Gooden and Tucker Carlson are trying to diminish her voice.
