Republican candidate for governor Glenn Youngkin has launched the Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) for Youngkin Coalition, according to a press release.
“Our Asian American and Pacific Islanders Coalition met yesterday in Falls Church for a great conversation,” Youngkin tweeted on July 25. “I'm encouraged by everyone who is coming together to support our campaign. Together, we will bring a new day to Virginia!”
The group is chaired by Fairfax businessman Puneet Ahluwalia.
“Glenn Youngkin is a successful businessman and job creator who wants to see every Virginian have the opportunity to achieve their dreams,” Ahluwalia said in the press release. “Glenn knows our families need a stronger, more inclusive economy and good-paying jobs. He knows our children need better schools. Glenn’s character, integrity and expertise is exactly what we need in Richmond, and it’s an honor to support his campaign as chair of the AAPI for Youngkin Coalition.”
Virginia should be a safe, welcoming place for everyone to get a good education and have an equal opportunity to succeed, Youngkin said in the release.
“I’m excited to listen and work with Puneet and other AAPI leaders in Virginia to build a rip-roaring economy, restore excellence in our schools and prioritize public safety,” he said.
Youngkin is partnering with AAPI leaders in Virginia to "ensure these vibrant communities have a seat at the table and a voice in their future,” the new coalition's website reads.
