"Asian American voters in the last decade have nearly doubled from more than two million voters in 2000 to 3.9 million voters in 2012 (Center for American Progress, AAPI Data). It is estimated that Asian Americans will reach five percent of voters nationally by 2025 and 10 percent of voters by 2044.

Asian American voter numbers are critical swing votes in Nevada, Virginia, and Florida and influenced the presidential elections in those states, as demonstrated in 2008 and again in 2012.

Despite the growing importance of AAPIs, our communities face poor or non-existent language assistance at the voting booth, poor outreach from political parties, and oppressive voter ID laws (Center for American Progress).

In this context, Hillary Clinton’s outreach to AAPI communities has been especially significant

Lots of room under Hillary's big tent. NO ONE gets tossed under the bus.
Her work to hear the voices of minorities and in turn speak on their behalf didn't just begin at the start of the 2016 campaign.
