“The Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) recently released two new resources showcasing the growing participation of Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) running for elected office in the 2016 election cycle across the U.S. states.
The 2016 Asian American and Pacific Islander Candidates infographic provides key demographic information including a gender and political party breakdown of the 2016 election cycle of AAPI candidates. To date, there are 122 AAPI candidates across 28 states running for office in federal and statewide positions. The numbers are not final as the deadline to file for candidacy in Hawaii is not until June 2016.” -JACL
