  • Calling on the Census Bureau
    September 3, 2020 Dr. Steven Dillingham Director United States Census Bureau 4600 Silver Hill Road Washington, DC 20233 Dear Dr. Dillingham: This letter is to inquire about the U.S. Census Bureau’s plans for accurately counting our country’s population in the 2020 Census. In California, nearly 15 percent of our residents remain uncounted, many in historically undercounted communities at risk of losing federal funding and resources. In light of the challenges created by COVID-19, the fires burning across California, and the recent decision to end counting operations early, we ask that you provide additional detail about how a complete count will be achieved. It is our understanding that with the shortened counting timeline, Census Bureau workers will need to visit 8 million more homes nationwide than in 2010, in just seven weeks instead of ten weeks. Data accuracy and review procedures for processing apportionment counts have also been reduced from six months to three months. Additional obstacles caused by COVID-19 include a higher number of people experiencing homelessness—an historically undercounted population—as well as difficulties with hiring and retention of census workers. Given these significant barriers to a fair and accurate census, we would appreciate answers to the following questions. With in-person counting operations cut short, the Census Bureau will likely need to utilize administrative records and statistical techniques to complete the enumeration. Do you now anticipate any changes in the number of households that will

The significant haul puts her near the top of all House challengers across the country. The Young Kim for Congress campaign also reported ending the year with nearly $900,000 cash-on-hand and raising over $1.3 million in just 8 months in 2019. As Kim builds the war chest she needs to defeat Gil Cisneros, she also rolled out numerous key national and local endorsements in the final three months of 2019. Kim’s strong campaign infrastructure has attracted notice from the NRCC and the DCCC, who both have California’s 39th District as a key battleground seat in the fight for the House majority. “There is a reason Young is posting strong fundraising numbers and attracting endorsements from all across the country - she is a hardworking and dynamic candidate who is incredibly qualified and has everything it will take to win back this seat,” stated Sam Oh, general consultant to the Kim campaign. “Gil Cisneros has spent his first year in D.C. in lock step with Nancy Pelosi and his constituents are fed up.” Young has close to 200 federal and local leaders supporting her candidacy and also has been endorsed by the California, Orange County, Los Angeles County, and San Bernardino County Republican Parties.

Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees.
