CAPAC is excited to welcome our new Members-elect to Washington, D.C. We look forward to working with them in the next Congress!
For Veterans Day—and for the first time in history—the Congressional Gold Medals awarded to Filipino, Chinese & Japanese WWII veterans were on display at the U.S. Capitol.
Thank you to our nation’s veterans for their service and sacrifice. It is a debt that can never be repaid.

I was thrilled to host the Asian Pacific American GI Project’s exhibit, celebrating 250 years of AANHPI military service. This exhibit came all the way from my hometown of Monterey Park, and it's an honor to bring this important exhibit to our nation’s capital.
Through the stories, photographs, and artifacts in this exhibit, we honor generations of AANHPI servicemembers and Veterans so future generations know their stories.

Wishing a safe, healthy, and joyous Diwali to everyone celebrating in the Sacramento region and around the world!
As we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, may this Festival of Lights inspire us to come together and build a brighter future for all.
Diwali represents the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
As millions around the world come together to celebrate the Festival of Lights, CAPAC wishes you and your loved ones a day filled with peace and hope in brighter days ahead. 🪔

Today is Diwali…Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating today. Today is supposed to celebrate the victory of light over darkness. But that victory is not automatic. When people are chanting stop “Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians” and other hateful anti-Indian and anti-Hindu slogans, you know we have a lot of work to do. Let’s proudly light a lamp today for Diwali, but resolve that we have to stamp out this hate directed toward Hindus and anyone. Thank you @RepJayapal for highlighting as well.
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory.
They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians."
I just spoke to both men who say they are concerned about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters.
Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend.
They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists.
Stay tuned.

Happy Diwali, Bandi Chhor Divas, Mahavir Nirvana Divas, and Kali Puja to everyone celebrating in Philadelphia and around the world!

Happy Bandi Chhor Divas!
Today, we honor the extraordinary courage of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji and the unwavering determination of the Sikhs who fought valiantly for his release. We honor the sacrifice and spirit of Guru Hargobind Sahib, who refused to leave prison until all political prisoners were released.
This significant occasion serves as a powerful reminder of the Sikh commitment to equality, justice, and resilience. Let us celebrate the rich legacy of strength at the heart of Sikhism and the enduring spirit of activism that inspires us all.

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! May the Festival of Lights bring you happiness and prosperity.
This vile, racist act comes weeks after a white supremacist sought to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple.
We stand in solidarity with @RepJayapal & the Hindu community. This Diwali, may the light of every diya serve as a reminder that good will always triumph over evil.

The Fairfax County Kimchi Festival is a wonderful celebration of Korean culture and traditions here in Northern Virginia.
I stopped by the Government Center this morning to thank the volunteers working hard to get everything ready for today’s festival. Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of so many community members, and I appreciate all they do to bring our community together.

Happy Diwali! The Festival of Lights reminds us of the power of hope, kindness, and community.
Wonderful to celebrate with the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir community in Chantilly today and see the impressive exhibition prepared by local youth.
Thank you to BAPS for bringing our neighbors together and sharing these meaningful traditions!
This National Family Caregivers Month, we honor the 1 in 8 Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians & Pacific Islanders serving as family caregivers.
CAPAC will continue fighting for a caregiving support system that is affordable, accessible + responsive to the needs of our community.

70 years ago today, Dalip Singh Saund became the first Indian American elected to Congress, breaking barriers and opening doors for generations to follow.
At a time of rising anti-Indian hate, his legacy reminds us that the American Dream must have no ancestry test.

Lower costs. Get ICE out of our communities. Expand access to healthcare. Hold the Trump administration accountable.
House Democrats are ready to get back to work & deliver for families.

We made HISTORY this week! With at least 22 AAPI members poised to join @CAPAC next year, our communities will have their strongest representation yet. I couldn’t be prouder to lead this caucus into its next chapter.

I will never forget the day after my election, when President Obama called to congratulate me on becoming the first Chinese American woman elected to Congress in history.
Now, we will have a record of at least 26 AANHPI Members of Congress, including at least 22 AAPI Members in @CAPAC, another historic record.
As CAPAC Chair Emerita, I’m always thrilled to have more AANHPI representation at the table.
