2423 Rayburn House Office Building • Washington, D.C. 20515 • 202.225.5464 • http://capac.chu.house.gov EXECUTIVE BOARD Rep. Judy Chu, Chair November 21, 2020 Sen. Tammy Duckworth Sen. Kamala Harris Sen. Mazie K. Hirono Dear President-elect Biden: Sen. Brian Schatz Rep. Ami Bera Rep. Ed Case On behalf of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC), we Rep. Gil Cisneros commend you for pledging to make diversity a priority as you work to build a Rep. TJ Cox Rep. Tulsi Gabbard talented and inclusive administration that truly reflects our nation. This work is more Rep. Jimmy Gomez Rep. Al Green imperative now than ever as our country confronts multiple crises – including the Rep. Pramila Jayapal devastating health and economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as Rep. Ro Khanna Rep. Andy Kim centuries of systemic racism and inequality in our society – that disproportionately Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi affect communities of color. Rep. Barbara Lee Rep. Ted Lieu Rep. Doris O. Matsui Rep. Grace Meng As you work to assemble your administration, CAPAC urges you to appoint highly Rep. Stephanie Murphy qualified Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) candidates to your Cabinet Rep. Gregorio Sablan Rep. Michael San Nicolas and to ensure that AAPIs account for at least seven percent of cabinet-level and other Rep. Bobby Scott appointed personnel within the federal workforce. Asian Americans and Pacific Rep. Mark Takano Islanders are seven percent of the U.S. population and the fastest growing racial ASSOCIATE MEMBERS Rep. Pete Aguilar group in the nation, with over 23 million AAPIs living in this country today. AAPIs Rep. Nanette Barragán are also the fastest growing segment of the U.S. electorate and turned out in record Rep. Karen Bass Rep. Suzanne Bonamici numbers in the 2020 election, with over two-thirds of the AAPI vote supporting your Rep. Brendan Boyle election. Rep. Salud Carbajal Rep. Katherine Clark Rep. Gerald Connolly For over two decades, there has been at least one AAPI appointed to serve in the Rep. Lou Correa Rep. Susan Davis Cabinet of both Democratic and Republican administrations. In fact, the Obama Rep. Suzan DelBene Rep. Debbie Dingell administration included a record three AAPI Cabinet Secretaries and the Trump Rep. Anna Eshoo administration included two AAPI women in the Cabinet. In order to ensure your Rep. Marcia Fudge Rep. Hakeem Jeffries administration is filled with appointees who truly reflect the strength and diversity Rep. Zoe Lofgren of our nation, we urge you to continue this trend of appointing AAPI candidates to Rep. Alan Lowenthal Rep. Carolyn Maloney the Cabinet and prioritizing AAPI representation throughout your administration. Rep. Jerry McNerney Rep. Gregory Meeks Rep. Jerrold Nadler Thank you again for your commitment to appointing diverse leaders within your Rep. Grace Napolitano Rep. Jimmy Panetta Cabinet who are equipped to serve all segments of our society. Prioritizing diverse Rep. Scott Peters voices at the highest levels of our federal government will ensure that critical Rep. Katie Porter Rep. Jamie Raskin issues impacting AAPIs and other traditionally underrepresented communities Rep. Harley Rouda receive the conscientious care and attention that they deserve. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard Rep. Linda Sánchez Rep. Janice Schakowsky Rep. Adam Schiff Sincerely, Rep. Brad Sherman Rep. Adam Smith Rep. Jackie Speier Rep. Thomas Suozzi Rep. Eric Swalwell Rep.

Eliot Engel, NY-16 January 14, 2019 RE: Pay the Defenders of NYC and NY Harbor Dear Members of the NYC Congressional Delegation, On behalf of our membership, we urge you to take immediate action to pay uniformed members of the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to keep employees critical to the defense and preparedness of New York City and New York Harbor working and paid regardless of the political battles being fought in Washington, DC. We support immediate passage of H.R. 367, with the addition of USPHS and NOAA. Though continued funding for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force is provisioned through the U.S. Department of Defense, members of the above three federal uniformed services critical to defending our city and port remain unpaid, and their families are left to suffer the consequences in an unforgivingly expensive metropolitan area. While we oppose the shutdown generally, it is especially abhorrent that our city’s defenders have been forced to suffer. New York City last year was named a “Coast Guard City,” yet our Coasties are being asked to sacrifice greatly just to keep serving us.

  • Calling on the Census Bureau

    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.

    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.
