Power AAPI Women
AAPI Women are Leading Our Communities
Yet AAPI women and women of color are drastically underrepresented in elected office, and face gender-based obstacles that prevent them from running or pursuing higher office once elected.
Asian Americans currently hold no governorships, make up only 3% of Congress and account for just 1% of all elected office holders—and the numbers are even lower for AAPI women. Specifically, Asian American women are 3.7% of the total population but only 1.9% of Congress and 1.3% of statewide elected office holders.
We Need AAPI Women in Office
We are seeding Power AAPI Women, a program focused on preparing and supporting AAPI women to run, win, and govern.
