Asian American small business owner PAC trumpets victories

Wed, 11/17/2010 - 10:00

And at $100,000, it would definitely make them one of the larger PAC's geared towards the AAPI community. The PAC is based in California and it's an impressive pipeline of elected officials, mostly Democrats. (I think Michelle Park Steel is the lone Republican.) Hopefully they can make a difference in Sacramento.
