New York, NY — Committee of 100, a nonprofit organization of prominent Chinese Americans today congratulated the incoming elected leaders of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) for the incoming 119th Congress.
Since it was founded in 1994, CAPAC has been addressing the needs of the AANHPI community in all areas of American life, serving as a non-partisan and bi-cameral organization within Congress.
“Committee of 100 congratulates all of the elected leaders within CAPAC for their commitment on key Chinese American and AAPI issues,” said Cindy Tsai, Interim President, Committee of 100. “For 35 years, Committee of 100 has been steadfast in our dual mission of promoting the full participation of Chinese Americans in all aspects of American life and helping foster constructive relations between the United States and Greater China. We have had decades-long working relationship with CAPAC and look forward to working with the incoming leadership team on the key issues which impact Chinese Americans daily – such as implementing AAPI history into curriculums, stopping the perpetual foreigner narrative, and fostering a positive era of research and collaboration.”
Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28) will transition to Chair Emerita after 14 years as Chair. The incoming elected leadership team at CAPAC will include Rep. Grace Meng (NY-06) elected as Chair; Rep. Mark Takano (CA-39) elected as First Vice-Chair; Rep. Jill Tokuda (HI-02) elected as Second Vice-Chair; Rep.
