ASPIRE Endorses Joe Biden for President During Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, ASPIRE, the political arm of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Members of Congress, announced its endorsement of Joe Biden for President of the United States during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.
 
“We are proud to endorse Vice President Biden, whose leadership will restore integrity and compassion to the White House,” said Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-NY), Chair of ASPIRE. “We need a President that will unite Americans, instead of taking every opportunity to divide us from one another. Joe Biden will lead us through this unprecedented crisis with science, integrity, and compassion. He has been a strong ally of AAPIs throughout his service in the Senate and Obama administration, and he understands that diversity makes our country great. As President, he will stand with AAPIs and ensure that Americans from all communities are treated with dignity and respect.”
 
“We've witnessed an alarming rise in white supremacy and domestic terrorism fueled by Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric and actions,” said Congresswoman Judy Chu (D-CA). “Our country cannot afford four more years of chaos, corruption, and ineffective leadership. We need a leader like Joe Biden who understands the issues that matter most to our community. He gets where AAPIs stand on issues like immigration reform, education, health care, voting rights, the economy. He has the experience and compassion that all Americans are looking for during these difficult times. And we, the AAPI community, can be the secret weapon in Joe Biden's victory.”
 
ASPIRE PAC is focused on supporting candidates of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) descent and those that support and promote the issues of the AAPI community. ASPIRE PAC offers a voice for the AAPI community and encourages active participation in the U.S. political process. 
 
Nationally, Biden for President has previously announced more than 3,000 endorsements from national, state, and local leaders, including current and former U.S. senators and representatives, governors, state elected officials, community leaders, and national security professionals.
