ASPIRE PAC Endorses Julie Won for NY-07 and Andrea Salinas for OR-06

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders Rising & Empowering Political Action Committee (ASPIRE PAC) today announced the endorsements of Rep. Andrea Salinas for Oregon’s 6th Congressional District and Julie Won for New York’s 7th Congressional District.

ASPIRE PAC Chair Marilyn Strickland issued the following statements:

Rep. Andrea Salinas (OR-06):

“Rep. Salinas is fighting to ensure every family has a fair shot at the American Dream. As a member of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, she is focused on addressing the urgent needs of our community by lowering costs, expanding access to affordable health care, and building a more equitable future for the next generation. ASPIRE PAC is proud to endorse Andrea Salinas for re-election.”

Julie Won (NY-07):

“Julie Won understands the challenges facing New Yorkers because she has lived them. As a working mom of two toddlers and caregiver for her aging parents, she knows that we need to do more to support families. That’s why she successfully fought to expand affordable housing, increase funding for public education, and protect immigrant communities on the New York City Council.  She’s now running to bring that commitment of delivering for her constituents to Washington, D.C. and ASPIRE PAC is proud to endorse Julie Won for Congress.”
