Event Details
What:
The inaugural event in the series featured a conversation with Silicon Valley Assemblymember Evan Low, who is running for Congress to succeed longtime Representative Anna Eshoo in District 16. Evan Low, a fourth-generation Californian, made history in 2006 as the first Asian-American, openly gay, and one of the youngest individuals ever elected to City Council. His pioneering journey continued in 2009 when he became the youngest Asian-American mayor in the nation. In 2014, Evan’s commitment to enhancing lives and achieving tangible results led him to the California Assembly.
This event represents a collaborative effort to ensure that the voices of the Asian community in Santa Clara County are heard and that candidates address the issues that matter most to them. By participating in this roundtable, the diverse community media had the opportunity to engage with Assemblymember Evan Low and gain a deeper understanding of his platform and vision for the future.
