Cupertino becomes third city with Asian American majority on city council

Asian American politicians continue to make strides. In addition to the victories on Tuesday of openly-gay AAPI candidates Evan Lowe in Campbell, CA, and Alex Wan in Atlanta, we have word that Cupertino, CA, just became the third city in the country, and the only one in Northern California, with an Asian American council majority. Of special note, newcomer Barry Chang received the endorsements of Norm Mineta and John Chiang.
