California Democratic Party Asian Pacific Islander Caucus

LOS ANGELES – California Democratic Party Asian Pacific Islander Caucus Chair Clark Lee released the following statement on the 2012 Lunar New Year:

“On behalf of the California Democratic Party Asian Pacific Islander Caucus, best wishes to everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year.

“California is the most diverse state of the Union and is home to the largest Asian American and Pacific Islander population in the United States. As AAPI communities welcome the Year of the Dragon, we celebrate the strength of our diversity and cultural heritage.

“In this critical election year, we look forward to electing more AAPI Democrats to public offices and making sure that our elected officials reflect the diverse population that they serve. Most importantly, we look forward to working with AAPI leaders and activists in re-electing President Barack Obama.”

LOS ANGELES - California Democratic Party Asian Pacific Islander Caucus Chair Clark Lee released the following statement commemorating the 2012 Korean American Day:

“On behalf of the California Democratic Party Asian Pacific Islander Caucus, we celebrate the 2012 Korean American Day and commemorate more than one century of Korean American successes and contributions to the United States.

“Korean American history and culture are an inseparable part of the American fabric. As the most diverse state of the Union, California is home to the largest concentration of ethnic Koreans outside of Korea, where the story of every Korean American is a story of the American Dream.

“The accomplishments and the successes of the Korean American community in California and across the United States are a testament of the vibrancy and the resilience of the immigrant communities that have been the backbone of America.”

Democrat Janice Hahn resoundingly defeated Tea Party Republican Craig Huey with a margin of 54.56% to 45.44% in the Tuesday, July 12, 2011 Special General Election in Congressional District 36.

The California Democratic Party Asian Pacific Islander Caucus congratulates Congress Member-Elect Hahn and all the staff, volunteers, and supporters for their hard work in defeating the extremist Tea Party agenda in the South Bay.

The voters of Congressional District 36 were victorious in shunning Huey supporters’ appalling misleading smear campaigns and heinous voter turnout suppression schemes by electing a proven leader who will stand up for our communities, protect critical services, and fight for the people of South Bay in Congress.

We look forward to working with Congress Member-Elect Janice Hahn to move South Bay forward. Again, congratulations!
