Asian American Running for Mayor of Boston
Asian Americans are getting comfortable with politics it seems, shattering a long-time stereotype that Asians shy away from political roles. In the latest news, Sam Yoon, who was elected Boston’s first Asian-American city councilor four years ago has announced his run for mayor of Boston. Although I’d love to see more Asians in office, I also do want to promote responsible voting. So, please take a look at what he stands for and choose wisely.
Whether he wins or loses, we have yet another role model for the younger Asians who have an interest in politics. Pursue your dreams!
Currently most of the Asians in politics are in areas which have a lot of Asians, but hopefully we will see success and participation even in other areas.
