First Asian American Elected to New York City Council
Obama isn’t the only one shattering barriers. John Liu who is a Taiwan-born former business consultant, who moved to the US at 5 years old, became the first Asian American elected to NYC’s City Council. Congrats!
He appears to have his eyes set on becoming a public advocate as well.
Aside from Liu, there are also a slew of other Asian Americans elected in Flushing and Chinatown areas as well. It’s great to see more involvement by Asians in politics to make their voice heard. Thanks for continuing to pave the way.
