| Collapse all
I am a lifelong Democrat and not a career politician. Growing up as the son of immigrants, I understand the issues and struggles immigrant and working family face daily because it was my experience growing up. I am an everyday New Yorker and a grass-root community advocate for my immigrant and working-class neighbors for more than a decade. I have lived in District 10 most of my life and know the issues confronted by the communities in District 10 well. I co-founded the NYC Asian-American Democratic Club and Asian American Community Empowerment, a nonprofit coalition of Asian American organizations of more than 60 member organizations nationwide. I worked closely with other community leaders and allies on Anti-AAPI Hate, DACA, gentrification and affordable housing, high quality education for all, and other important social issues. I have always been and will continue to be committed to helping my community from the ground up. District 10 needs a strong representative to enact legislation instead of campaign platitudes. I believe we must act now to improve public safety in our community, advance racial equity, combat hate crimes, provide high quality education for our children, care for our seniors, and support and protect small businesses. I believe that empowering the community with agency, engagement, and inclusivity are key for social change and social equality. These core values will define my actions, decision-making, and governing policy as NY District 10’s congressman.
- Racial Equity and Hate Crimes-I will work diligently to bring people who live in different corners of the city together to work toward our common good by creating opportunities for dialogue. I will launch initiative that would help to break down some of the barriers that divide and support programs that reduce childhood poverty, narrow educational gaps, improve income and employment opportunities for marginalized populations, and quality health care for all.
- Education and Poverty-I believe we need to tax the rich to fund more educational programs for marginalized communities. I will fight to invest heavily in early education and made free or affordable childcare available for all New Yorkers. I support policies that will help to alleviate this burden such as tuition free college, streamlining existing forgiveness programs, and expanding Pell Grant. I will advocate funds for college-to-career programs and job or vocational training programs that would allow people to obtain living-wage jobs in NYC.
- Immigration-As the Immigration Committee Chair for a local community board, I worked closely with immigrant communities. We need to expand more services, such as language access and free legal consultations to our documented and undocumented brothers and sisters. We need to provide a citizenship pathway for all immigrants. We need to continue and expand DACA to help our undocumented youths to obtain citizenship. Furthermore, we must end the separation of families at the border expeditiously.
Combat AAPI Hate–As president of NYCADC, we’ve started an online petition that collected almost 50, 000 signatures in support of Congresswoman Grace Meng's hate crime bill. As District 10’s congressional representative, I will work hard on racial equity and fight against any acts of violence rooted in hate. We also need AAPI history to be included in our core curriculum. This country was built by immigrants. The contributions made by immigrants are not well taught in American history books. We need to revise our curriculum to reflect that. Health Care–Free or affordable healthcare should be available for everyone. It is a basic human right for everyone. I support Medicare for All and free or affordable healthcare. We need to regulate prescription drug prices. We must expand access to mental health care, including support for those experiencing homelessness by improving the budget for State mental health services and programs. Reproductive Rights–It is women's right to choose! In 2022, many other countries offer reproductive rights to their women. The United States, as a role model for the world, shouldn't even need to have a conversation on this. I am outraged by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe V. Wade. I support any legislation that protects women’s abortion rights. We need to end the US Senate filibuster and impose term limits on Supreme Court justices. We need some check and balance on the power of supreme court justices so people's voices don't get ignored.
