I'm excited to announce that I recently earned the endorsement of the Pilipino American Los Angeles Democrats (PALAD). PALAD is the oldest Asian American and Pacific Islander Democratic club in Los Angeles and aims to organize and mobilize Asian Americans throughout the region.

I deeply respect the work of PALAD and sought their endorsement because I believe everyone should be empowered and invited to join the conversation about shaping our future. One of my biggest priorities for City Council is engaging and encouraging people from underrepresented communities to participate in the political process, and I am committed to addressing systemic inequalities and making Long Beach a more equitable and inclusive city.
