Asian-American Lawmakers Endorse Hillary Clinton Ahead Of California Primary
WASHINGTON — An influential group of Asian-American lawmakers endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in Los Angeles on Tuesday, giving her a boost ahead of next week’s California primary.
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Leadership PAC, which includes several representatives and senators from California, urged Asian-American and Pacific Islander voters to back Clinton to combat presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump‘s anti-immigrant rhetoric.
“There is so much at stake in this election, and we cannot tolerate any presidential candidate who promotes fear tactics, hateful rhetoric against immigrants and bullying,” CAPAC chair Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) said on Tuesday, alluding to Trump.
“We AAPIs must turn out the vote and ensure that our voice matters,” Chu said. “We must support the candidate who will bring us together, and make our nation more equal and just for everyone — and that person is Hillary Clinton.”
