Led by two California lawmakers, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus‘ political action committee will formally endorse Hillary Clinton for President next week.
Reps. Judy Chu, who represents the Pasadena area, and Doris Matsui, whose district encompasses metropolitan Sacramento, are scheduled to make the announcement Tuesday morning in San Gabriel.
In attendance will be Asian and Pacific Islander elected officials from throughout California who are endorsing Clinton. Earlier this year, all of California’s Congressional representatives of Asian descent announced they are supporting her.
A new survey conducted under the supervision of UC Riverside and released last week found that Clinton is the most favored Presidential candidate in the Asian community, while Donald Trump is viewed very unfavorably and a large proportion has no opinion of Bernie Sanders.
Trump has mocked Asians at some of his rallies by using broken English, and at one rally the real estate mogul asked an Asian American from Texas whether he was South Korean.
