In today's Star Bulletin a reader tells how Mazie Hirono will represent Asian Americans because she was an immigrant herself?
From 9/1/06 Star Bulletin letters to the editor:
Hirono will represent Asian Americans well
The Asian American Action Fund is a national organization dedicated to increasing the voice of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in government.
Last week it announced its endorsement of Mazie Hirono's congressional campaign.
"As a Japanese immigrant herself, Mazie is uniquely committed to issues of concern in the Asian American community," said Irene Bueno, executive director of the AAA-Fund. "Her distinguished record of public service and deep understanding of local issues in the Hawaiian islands make her an outstanding candidate for Congress."
