Comment on Redistricting: What It Is and Why You Should Care by Norb Kumagai

Hello Ms. Duong: Actually in 2001, California had two (2) Asian Americans in Congress: Mike Honda (D-San Jose) as you previously referenced as well as the late Robert T. Matsui (D-Sacramento).

As I briefly mentioned in my presentation to the Citizens Redistricting Commission the other day in Sacramento, when Assembly Members Floyd Mori (D-Pleasanton) & Paul Bannai (R-Gardena) were defeated in November’80, there were no Asian Americans in The California State Legislature until the election of the late Assembly Member Nao Takasugi (R-Oxnard) in November’92.

After roughly 720 separate legislative campaigns over a 12 year period were Asian Americans able to successfully gain representation.

Most importantly however, during the ’81 & ’91 reapportionment cycles, there were no Asian Americans at the table when the lines were being drawn by The Legislature, much to the determent of our communities.

I sincerely appreciate your focus on this extremely important issue. Thanks!!!
