It's time we finally build a more inclusive America, which is why I've launched the Elect AAPI Political Action Committee! For too long, Asian Americans haven't had the political infrastructure so many other communities have had to be as successful in the political arena.

Engagement is an important step, but conversations must result in action, otherwise divestment & other options must be kept on the table. We can end the cycle of mass shootings in schools, biz & places of worship if we stand up & take concrete actions. treasurer.ca.gov/news/releases/
