(Sacramento, CA) – Assemblymembers Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), Evan Low (D-San Jose), and Luis Alejo (D-Salinas) were honored this week to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, filmmaker, and the founder of Define American, Jose Antonio Vargas, to the State Capitol to highlight why the Safe and Responsible Driver Act (AB 60) and the President's Immigration Accountability Executive Action are important to the Asian Pacific Islander community.

As the first and only Filipino American state legislator in the history of California, Assemblymember Bonta is committed to increasing API awareness of the new programs. "Over 1 million of the nation's undocumented immigrants are API, and 416,000 of them live in California. That means that close to half of all of the undocumented API community in the entire nation live in California. Now is the time for the API community to be fully engaged in and fully committed to the immigration discussion."

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Campbell) issued the following statement today in response to Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush’s saying that “Asian people” were using “anchor babies” to exploit our country’s citizenship birth rights at a recent news conference:

“Jeb Bush's words are offensive and clearly show that he is out of touch with the Asian Pacific Islander community. In an attempt to make a vicious political attack on an opponent, he ended up digging an even deeper hole for himself. Clearly, he has more work to do to prepare himself to be Commander-in-Chief. Gov. Bush needs to retract his statement and give our community a sincere apology.”

SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Campbell) issued the following statement after the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which ruled in favor of marriage equality on a 5-4 vote:

“The U.S. Supreme Court ruling is a victory and celebration for all who stand for equal justice and equal opportunity. The California Supreme Court has already allowed same-sex marriage in our state, and this morning's ruling just reaffirms the hope and promise that all people could marry. This is a great day in the country and today, we stand on the right side of history. Love is love.”
