The AAPI vote was *the* margin of victory for our candidates. This coalition would’ve been impossible to build without the leadership of @mjwongengel, Meilyn Xiong, and @sassylawyer89.

All of our coalition-building led to a HUGE voter turnout in this election.
We far surpassed our 2018 numbers.
ALT Green background graphic reads: In Wisconsin so far, compared to 2018... The Latino vote is at 172% The AAPI vote is at 201%

Our AAPI Caucus hosted several Meet & Greets with Hmong leaders, AAPI leaders, Gov @Tony4WI, and LG @MandelaBarnes. Community members were able to speak with our candidates one on one and learn more about their campaigns and how they will continue to fight for AAPIs across WI.
